 Because students solve a set of O Part c
even though only one question is asked, students must consider the information presented in each representation to sequence the cars in terms of their respective gas consumption.

Shift 1: Balancing Literacy & Informational Texts
From…
Most of what students read is literature or stories in English Language Arts. To:
We will be building knowledge through content rich informational text and learning to read non‐fiction text structures. • K‐5 will read 50% literary text/50% informational text.
• 6‐8 will read 30% literary text/70% informational text.

Shift 2: Knowledge in Disciplines
From…
Test questions based on knowledge the student brings to the test. (Names, dates, places, events, etc.)
To:
Test questions will be based on knowledge‐based gained from reading the text in a test setting. Students will apply reasoning and critical thinking to their responses. 33% Literature; 33% Science; 33% Social Science
Shift 3: Close Reading of Complex Text
From…
Students read the text for the story or for skill building such as identifying the main idea or the sequence of events.
To:
• Reading selections will be based on text complexity appropriate for each grade. • Close reading of the text will be required. • Focus on the words that matter most – Academic vocabulary
• Lexile levels increased almost one grade level. 15
