Pearson Common Core Literature, ©2015, is an exciting literature program designed specifically to meet the rigors of Common Core. Its unique Instructional Model brings support around the critical shifts in literacy, emphasizing building knowledge through content rich nonfiction, reading and writing grounded in evidence, providing texts of the appropriate range of complexity and focusing on academic vocabulary. The heart of the Instructional Model is a focus on Text Sets that consist of an Anchor Text with related readings of multiple genres, centered on a compelling topic. The goal is for students to form a coherent position on the topic by performing research, holding discussions, and writing an argumentative analysis. Additionally, an instructional focus is paid to developing students’ close reading ability to prepare them for the rigorous tasks they will experience on upcoming assessments. Powerful instructional tools are designed to personalize learning for every student, allowing teachers to customize instruction and differentiate resources. 2 A Correlation of Pearson Common Core Literature, Grade 7, ©2015 to the Oregon Common Core State Standards for Literacy in History/Social Studies, Science and Technical Subjects, Grade 7 Table of Contents Reading Standards for Literacy in History/Social Studies ...................................... 4 Writing Standards for Literacy in History/Social Studies ..................................... 10 Reading Standards for Literacy in Science and Technical Subjects ....................... 16 Writing Standards for Literacy in Science and Technical Subjects ........................ 21 3 A Correlation of Pearson Common Core Literature, Grade 7, ©2015 to the Oregon Common Core State Standards for Literacy in History/Social Studies, Science and Technical Subjects, Grade 7 Oregon Common Core State Standards for Literacy in History/Social Studies, Science and Technical Subjects, Grade 7 Pearson Common Core Literature Grade 7, ©2015 Reading Standards for Literacy in History/Social Studies The Reading standards specific to the content areas begin at grade 6; standards for K–5 reading in history/social studies, science, and technical subjects are integrated into the K– 5 Reading standards.
