Common Core Standard Rl8

ELA-Literacy.RL.6.2: Determine a theme of central idea of a text and ho it is conveyed through particular details; provide a summary of the text distinct from personal opinions or judgments.

RI.3.2 Determine the main idea of a text; recount the key details and explain how they support the main idea.

The students will be able to utilize resources to compare and contrast net pay and gross pay concepts.

[The unit’s standards all come directly from the ELA Common Core standards of first grade expectations. The ELA Common Core standard mandates what the students will be doing and learning. Each lesson’s learning objective is derived from the ELA Common Core standard. The learning experiences’ purpose also aligns with the learning objectives so students can meet the objective. The standards and learning objectives for my learning segment support children’s active and multimodal learning and language and literacy development in an interdisciplinary context by ensuring that children are learning through a variety of activities and applying their vowel team and vowel sound knowledge to an assortment of learning contexts such as poetry and short

1. Read the Big Ideas and Key Understandings and the Synopsis. Please do not read this to the students. This is a description for teachers about the big ideas and key understanding that students should take away after completing this task.

This is one unit in a yearlong 6th grade math course. In this unit, the students will learn about expressions and equations. Students will learn how letters stand for numbers, and be able to read, write, and evaluate expressions in which these letters take the place of numbers. In this unit, students will learn how to identify parts of an expression using various new terms. They will learn to solve both one- and two-step equations. Students will be able to distinguish between dependent and independent variables. They will be able to identify the dependent and independent variables of equations and in turn, be able to graph them. Various activities to be completed inside and outside of the classroom will be used to show

Ultimately, Common Core is not the education our children need. Students need a mixed curriculum of learning, with the intention that they will recognize what their passions are, and not just how well educated they are in general subjects. Having knowledge in these subjects are extremely important, however only emphasizing on certain subjects narrows the child’s ability to learn more. The Common Core standards prevent students from that excessive knowledge they would have, and only focuses on how well they can think on a test. Despite the elaborate plan Common Core presents to raise the educational standards in our nation, these same standards will diminish the student’s individualism, as well as inflict stress and anxiety on the child’s

The goal of the National common core standards is to develop students who are career ready and for those going into higher education. It consists of standards and clear understandings` of what students are expected to learn. In order for students to achieve this they not only need to be good in their academics but also have good soft traits like optimism, friendliness and personal attributes that enhance an individual’s interactions. Schools require students to take the core requirements such as english, math, science, and social studies. However, schools tend to overlook an important factor in building a well- rounded person, which is sports. Schools fail to discover the amount of students that joint sports and all the positive ways sports can impact students.

Math is a universal subject which the Merriam-Webster dictionary defines as "the science of numbers and their operations, interrelations, combinations, generalizations, and abstractions and of space configurations and their structure, measurement, transformations, and generalizations." Distinctly, the Oxford Dictionaries defines mathematics as “the abstract science of number, quantity, and space.” One thing that is clear amongst both these definitions is that math is complex and cannot be defined so loosely, which is why I find it difficult defining the literacy of mathematics. However, after reviewing the standards, I have attempted to do so. Being literate in mathematics means that one can count, compare and contrast numbers, understand and

Desks are aligned individually in rows facing a chalkboard. A red-shiny apple is sitting on the teachers table. Along the multi-color walls are students work. In the back corner of the room there are a few computers. Students are prepped to take an online test. No paper, no pencil. The work is all done on a computer. What was the “old” technique of learning has transition into a “new” way. This new tool is a way to improve a students’ education. It has been voluntary adopted by over 40 states. The standards serve as one of the most promising learning method in years in effort to improve our country’s school system. The question is whether the Common Core standard should be implemented as a nation-wide requirement

One image of a dystopia is everyone doing the same thing at the same time because of the government. The common core may not have been intended to be Big Brother but it is intending to be that way. Although some set of standards is necessary, the Common Core Standards do not work because they do not cater to the needs of the individual student.

As an administrator, introducing and implementing common core standards will produce challenges for all stakeholders. “A well-documented finding from studies of organizations of all kinds is that their members resist change” (Lunenburg & Ornstein, pg. 186). As a change agent, I will be faced with staff members who are resistant to change because they may view it as threatening. The ability to fail as a change agent is another challenge. If the change initiatives are not implemented correctly, this may cause the implementation to become a disaster.

The hardest part for me was staying under the 600 word limit, I had to learn how to crunch my ideas more directly and take out all the unecesarry details and ideas. One thing I learned in this english class is to start with an outline. Due to the fact that I did start with an outline I had all my ideas down on paper, this helped me pinpoint which ideas were the most persuasive and important. I chose to write my opinion piece on if NASA should get more funding from the federal budget. Once everyone finished their drafts, we had peer groups look over it. I got positive feedback but I still was over my word limit. My group helped me decide the least effective idea and what I could add in replace and how to make it more persuasive. From writing this type of paper I learned how to be more persuasive and how to better distinguish between good ideas and great

The three things that I need to do are catch my readers attention, have a plot summary, and have a clear thesis.

However, the standards set by Common Core break the chains of monotonous memorization that holds students down by relying on a combination of both multiple choice and open-ended questions that will develop necessary thought processes (“’Next-Generation’ Test” 1A). Including open-ended questions on the Common Core standardized tests encourages critical thinking in order to develop an answer to questions, allowing students’ true knowledge to shine through. Rather than taking a guess at what an answer may be or recalling temporarily stored facts, students must think questions through logically, a skill that will serve Mississippi students well throughout their lives. In addition to providing open-ended questions for deeper thinking, Common Core also targets higher level thinking that will prepare students for college courses and career training. In today’s college setting and workforce, former students are being forced to reevaluate their learning strategies after years of learning how to take a test. Individuals accustomed to rote learning fall behind in courses and job training because they do not understand how to digest material and turn it into useful information. However, Common Core eliminates the learning barrier and allows for student growth through formulated objectives directed toward a creative and insightful thought process. Because Common Core relies heavily on critical problem solving objectives, Mississippi high school
