This workshop incorporates two of the nine Advances in three of the main SHIFTS. Participants will become familiar with the emphasis on reading instruction that stays close to the texts, understand the important place argument and evidence have in the New Illinois Learning Standards, and identify some examples and non-examples of classroom practices that encourage students to return to the text for t-based answers and evidence. What are text-dependent questions? What are the characteristics and what should be considered in order to create high quality questions?
This presentation is ideal for teachers and administrators who design and implement curriculum.
