Three types of writing in the CCRS

LDC Modules are created in these four steps: What Task? What Skills? What _______? What _______?

These provide teachers with partially built teaching tasks that are aligned to College and Career Readiness Standards

The part of a mini-task that tells how long the the mini-task will take to complete

The total number of levels on the LDC writing rubric.

The CCRS states that students must learn to read, write, _________, _________, and use language effectively in a variety of content areas.

Skills clusters in LDC modules begin with Preparing for the Task; they end with the Writing Process and include these two middle steps.

Teaching tasks can be created for either of these two kinds of writing.

The part of a mini-task that gives students clear direction on what they are to produce

Students "meet expectations" if they reach this level on the LDC writing rubric.

In planning a module, once teachers determine the skills their students need to complete the task they then begin to plan these "lessons" to help students acquire the identified skills.

These can be added to a teaching task to increase the level of rigor.

The total number of elements on the LDC writing rubric, beginning with "Focus."

Sometimes added to the beginning of a teaching task, this can help students focus their thinking.

Students will score poorly on this element if they do not present disciplinary content relevant to the prompt with sufficient explanations that demonstrate understanding.

The name given to a set of standards that are literacy skills high school graduates should have in order to be ready for entry into the world of work or postsecondary education.

The part of the mini-task that describes what the teacher is doing.

This element of the LDC writing rubric describes how the writer presents details to support the focus and controlling idea.
