Introduction Regardless of the standards that states may have adopted, educators everywhere have been grappling with understanding how to ensure their students will be college and career ready. The goal is to give students the tools they need to be successful in college and future careers.
“Students who meet the Standards readily undertake the close, attentive reading that is at the heart of understanding and enjoying complex works of literature. They habitually perform the critical reading necessary to pick carefully through the staggering amount of information available today in print and digitally. They actively seek the wide, deep, and thoughtful engagement with high-quality literary and informational texts that builds knowledge, enlarges experience, and broadens worldviews. They reflectively demonstrate the cogent reasoning and use of evidence that is essential to both private deliberation and responsible citizenship in a democratic republic. In short, students who meet the Standards develop the skills in reading, writing, speaking, and listening that are the foundation for any creative and purposeful expression of language” (CCSS 2010b).
4
When students are immersed in a set of texts around a common theme, they will not only reach a deep understanding of the content provided by those texts, but will also learn and practice the English language arts skills— reading, writing, listening, speaking, and language—necessary to gain and communicate that learning (Cappiello and Dawes 2013). This is what is needed to prepare our students to be college and career ready—a curriculum that is integrated so that English language arts skills find their rightful place as the tools to gain and communicate deep content-area knowledge. Teaching through Text Sets seeks to provide teachers with one approach to, and the materials for, accomplishing the goals set by the state standards. The series provides sets of diverse texts—organized around common themes, topics, or concepts—with lesson plans to help students address complex texts. Thus, teachers will be able to assess not only the content area knowledge gained by students but also the English language arts skills used for communicating that knowledge.

Research Text Sets “A text set collection focuses on one concept or topic and can include multiple genres such as books, charts and maps, informational pamphlets, poetry and songs, photographs, nonfiction books, almanacs, or encyclopedias” (Read-Write-Think 2004, 1). These resources can be print or digital and provide an alternative to textbook‑driven instruction, although a textbook can be part of a text set. “When teachers make the transition from textbook-only classrooms to multitext classrooms, the focus of study becomes concepts rather than the content of one particular book. Students gain both a broad perspective and an in-depth sense of the subject matter from reading many texts on the same topic” (Ivey 2002, 20).
Freedman concludes that the goals of using text sets are threefold: • to increase literacy development • to develop content understanding • to develop students that have the confidence, independence, metacognition, and stamina of proficient learners Cappiello and Dawes (2013) state the focus of a unit of study is not the text set itself, but the common theme that holds the text set together. Many authors agree that text sets are a viable way to begin to meet the goals of a twenty‑first‑century education.
In her blog, Lauren Freedman (2011) provides a compelling list of reasons for using text sets. She suggests that text sets support an inquiry model of learning that will do the following: • lead to intertextual connections • cause students to confront multiple perspectives • provide visual elements, which reinforce and deepen concept understandings • reinforce the interrelatedness of reading, writing, speaking, listening, and thinking • provide avenues for authentic assessment and evaluation

Close Reading
State standards have set end-of-grade reading level expectations, which increase in difficulty through the end of high school. This has become known as the staircase of complexity.
Douglas Fisher (2012, interview) has defined close reading: “It’s a careful and purposeful rereading of a text. It’s an encounter with the text where students really focus on what the author has to say, what the author’s purpose was, what the words mean, and what the structure of the text tells us.” He also points out how these focuses align with what research tells us about teaching reading. However, those reading skills are not to be taught in isolation, but in the context of the texts being used in a unit of study (Fisher, n.d.). Fisher goes on to say, “In a close reading, we…give [students]… text‑dependent questions that require that they go back into the text to look for answers.”… “text‑dependent questions require students to read carefully and produce evidence in their verbal and written responses.”
Text complexity is defined using a three‑part model: quantitative, qualitative, and reader and task determinations. Quantitative measures include aspects such as word frequency, sentence length, and text cohesion. Qualitative measures include aspects such as structure, language conventionality and clarity, knowledge demands, and levels of meaning or purpose. Reader and task determinations are the prime responsibility of teachers. It is the teacher who determines whether a text is appropriate for a particular student at a particular point in time (CCSS 2012).
ve ati tit an Qu
While the difficulty of the reading required in college and career settings has steadily increased over time, the difficulty of the texts students are reading in K–12 classrooms has steadily decreased (CCSS 2010b). A study done by ACT, Inc. determined that the factor separating those who achieved a benchmark score or better on their test from those who fell below the benchmark was their “ability to answer questions associated with complex texts” (CCSS 2010b, 2). Simply put, “We have to care about the complexity levels of texts we use because ultimately we want our students to be prepared for the difficulty of the texts they will read in college and in their careers” (Hank 2012, 2).

Text-Dependent Questions Douglas Fisher and Nancy Frey (2012b, 3) suggest that there are at least six categories of question types that can help students “move from explicit to implicit meaning and from sentence level to whole text and across multiple texts.” • General understanding • Key details • Vocabulary and text structure • Author’s purpose • Inferences • Opinions, arguments, and intertextual connections In elementary classrooms, short passages that are worth reading should be used for close readings that are guided by the teacher. The lessons should be designed with a different purpose for each rereading. Students need to learn to question, mark words and passages of note, and take notes while doing these close readings. They should engage in rich discussions with the teacher and their classmates around the content of the text. This helps students learn and practice speaking, listening, and language skills that show that they truly understand a text (Fisher, n.d.). And, finally, students should be engaged in projects that require them to use writing in some form to communicate their learning.

The TCM leveling system is coded by grade level and month. For example, level 3.2 equates to third grade, second month of the school year. Every grade level and month adheres to established guidelines created under the guidance of Dr. Timothy Rasinski and a team of reading specialists. TCM levels are referenced in the Extension Text lesson of this Teacher’s Guide to assist teachers in assigning roles to students. The primary sources in Teaching through Text Sets were deliberately chosen for their authenticity, complexity, and content. As per Lexile® guidelines, posters, poetry, songs, and other nonprose texts do not have Lexile® measures. Primary sources with higher Lexile® measures were chosen with teacher-guided close reading instruction in mind, while those with lower measures, below and within the Lexile® band, were chosen with individual and small group instruction in mind. Reading levels vary from program to program, and levels among the programs do not correlate exactly. A chart of reading levels can be found in the Digital Resources (readinglevels.pdf) and shows the best correlations of each text to leading leveling programs.

Differentiate instruction throughout the unit with the following options: • a variety of texts that span the Lexile® bands • Audio recordings of key texts to model fluency and support auditory learners • an Interactiv-eBook to support students through video, audio, and other digital functions • graphic organizers to support visual learners and language learning • strategies for above-level, below-level, and English language learners embedded in each lesson • content presented in multiple modalities to support the needs of a variety of learners Dear Parent ,
Make a school-and-home connection by distributing copies of the Parent Letter (page 30) to students to take home to their parents. This letter offers a quick explanation of the content and literacy goals for the unit, along with ways to support literacy at home.
At school, we are studying the Industrial Revolution. As part of our unit of study, we are using Teaching through Text Sets: The Industrial Revolution. The text set is comprised of a variety of fiction and nonfiction texts that students read and analyze to learn more about the subject. Have your teen tell you about the texts he or she has read. Then, have your teen lead you in the fun literacy activities below. You will see how much your teen has learned, and you can help your teen reinforce his or her learning. • The Industrial Revolution gave ris e to America’s first millionaires. Visit the library to find more information about how these millionaires, such as John D. Rockefeller, John Jacob Aster, Cornelius Vanderbilt, and Andrew Carnegie, lived and worked. • The Workers’ Anvil is a song sung by workers on strike during the Industrial Revolution. Listen to a variety of these songs and create your own.
• If you have a computer, use the In ternet to search for inventors during the Industrial Revolution , such as Henry Ford, Alexander Graham Bell, George Stephenson , Orville and Wilbur Wright, Guglielmo Marconi, and Louis Pasteur. • Discover the exciting world of prim ary sources. A primary source is any document or physical object that was written or created during a certain time period. Take some time to look at first-hand accounts of history in your own home, such as newspaper articles, family photo albums, or old letters. Thank you for taking the time to work with your teen to help ensure his or her reading success. Extending your teen’s learning experience s at home is an important part of the learning process.

Correlations Introduction to Correlations
Common Core State Standards
Teacher Created Materials is committed to producing educational materials that are research- and standards-based. In this series, we have correlated all of our products to the academic standards of all 50 states, the District of Columbia, the Department of Defense Dependent Schools, and all Canadian Provinces. We have also correlated to the Common Core State Standards, TESOL, and WIDA standards.
The lessons in this book are correlated to the Common Core State Standards. A chart of the CCSS standards can be found in the Digital Resources (correlations.pdf ).
How to Find the Standards The Correlation Chart for this product can be found in the Digital Resources (correlations.pdf ). To print a customized correlation report for your state, please visit our website at http://www.tcmpub.com and follow the on‑screen directions. If you require assistance in printing correlation reports, please contact Customer Service at 1-800‑858‑7339.
Purpose and Intent of Standards Legislation mandates that all states adopt academic standards that identify the skills students will learn in kindergarten through grade twelve. Many states also have standards for Pre-K. This same legislation sets requirements to ensure the standards are detailed and comprehensive. Standards are designed to focus instruction and guide adoption of curricula. Standards are statements that describe the criteria necessary for students to meet specific academic goals. They define the knowledge, skills, and content students should acquire at each level. Standards are also used to develop standardized tests to evaluate students’ academic progress. Teachers are required to demonstrate how their lessons meet state standards. State standards are used in the development of all of our products, so educators can be assured they meet the academic requirements of each state.
© Teacher Created Materials
McREL Compendium We use the Mid-continent Research for Education and Learning (McREL) Compendium to create standards correlations. Each year, McREL analyzes state standards and revises the compendium. By following this procedure, McREL is able to produce a general compilation of national standards. Each lesson in this product is based on one or more McREL standards. A chart of each standard taught in this product and the page number(s) for the corresponding lesson(s) can be found in the Digital Resources (correlations.pdf ).
TESOL and WIDA Standards The lessons in this book promote English language development for English language learners. A chart of the language standards taught in this product can be found in the Digital Resources (correlations.pdf ).

Supporting Text 1—First Reading: Independent Before Reading 1. For the first read, tell the class that they will read for meaning. Explain that they will think about the following questions as they read: • What are the main ideas and details of the text? • Are any parts unusual or difficult to understand? • Who wrote this text and what was his or her purpose?
Standards • Reading: Determine a central idea of a text and analyze its development over the course of the text, including its relationship to supporting details; provide an objective summary of the text. • Writing: Draw evidence from literary or informational texts to support analysis, reflection, and research. • Content: Understand the conditions affecting employment and labor in the late 19th century. • Language: Communicate information, ideas, and concepts necessary for academic success in the area of Social Studies.
20
2. Next, tell the class you will show them one way to read for meaning. It is called coding the text. As they read, they will “read with a pencil”—writing their thoughts and ideas. Encourage students to note main ideas and details, powerful words or phrases, and words or phrases that are unusual. Students may write words and phrases or they may use a code, such as m for main idea or ? for unusual. 3. Model how to code the text by writing on sticky notes and placing them on a sheet of chart paper that represents a page of text.
During Reading 1. Distribute The Workers’ Anvil and sticky notes to students. 2. Tell students that they will now begin coding the text. ◆ For below-level learners and English language learners, print copies of the text from the Digital Resources and have students write directly on the text. Students should circle powerful words or phrases and underline parts that are unusual. This can help them keep their thoughts organized.
After Reading 1. Distribute copies of the First Impressions activity sheet (page 21) to students. 2. Have students summarize the main ideas, details, and their initial observations of the text. Remind students to list words or phrases they found unusual, as well as who wrote the text and his or her purpose. 3. As a class, discuss student responses. You may want to have students place their sticky notes on a class chart similar to the activity sheet. Progress Check: During Step 3, listen for students determining the central idea and summarizing the text.

“The Workers’ Anvil” Lyrics by Laura M. Griffing Arranged by C. F. Mayering
Seeking to capture Labor, And to clip the pinions Of our clan. Will you grant all At the first call, And submit to party factions. Guard, guard the right, companions; ‘Tis a phantom power, From civic rule descending, To despoil our dower. Will you come? Are you all strong, To fight the wrong, And advance the cause of Labor. Hail, hail, ye brother workmen, Fierce and sharp the battle; Make life a glorious triumph Let the volleys rattle Loud and deep. Take a bold stand, Throughout the land, Thus to guard the rights of freemen. Sound, sound the labor tocsin, For our homes are cheerless; Stay not, for Justice guides you Be ye strong and fearless. Guard your right! If you dare, do! And all be true— You will gain a glorious victory.
BOTTOM IMAGE: THE LIBRARY OF CONGRESS, ALL OTHER IMAGES: SHUTTERSTOCK
Strike, strike, the Workers’ anvil, For the cause of Labor, Strike for your homes and freedom, For each friend and neighbor, Ev’ry one. For this great cause And reform laws, Now demand complete protection. Strike, strike, the fire is glowing— Heed ye not the minions,
