Description

Common Core State Standards for Grade 9: Language Arts Instructional Strategies and Activities is designed to help teachers address Common Core standards using effective, research-based instructional strategies in combination with ready-to-use activities. These strategies include identifying similarities and differences, writing summaries and taking notes, creating non-linguistic representations, and suggestions for homework and practice. There are a variety of suggested texts as well as identified text exemplars that can easily be used with the strategies and activities. Some additional key features of this book include: Each instructional strategy is described in detail and includes lists of activities that would complement the strategy. A list of standards and strands is given for each grade level. Chapters are designed to focus on specific strands and contain lists of detailed activities for the standards within the strand. Many activities address multiple standards within the activity. Each activity contains focus standards and many contain suggested works. Standards citations are listed at the end of each activity. Many standards are addressed more than once throughout the strands. Sample activity formats and questions can be found in the appendix.

Reviews

I am excited to have Manvilles book as a rich resource for my teachers as we continue our transition to the CCSSs in our district. Teachers will immediately appreciate the multitude of activities, especially as they are asked this year to implement new activities on each under-touched Common Core standard and on standards on which students are underperforming. As the person responsible for curriculum and instruction, I can be confident that Manvilles laser-like attention to providing only research-based activities will help ensure success! -- Val Jones, K-12 Curriculum Coordinator, East Buchanan C-1 School District, Gower
Classroom teachers and reading specialists will find these new resource books full of rich and targeted activities designed to strengthen students skills as they meet the requirements of the Common Core State Standards. Michelle Manville is a consummate professional Missouri educator who understands student needs and suggests effective strategies and literature to meet them. -- Sally Minnick, former Regional Professional Development Communication Arts
The skills learned from Manvilles ninth-grade literacy and writing activities for history and social studies will be very beneficial to freshmen students in their geography and English courses. -- David Harms, social studies teacher, Iowa Falls-Alden High School, Iowa Falls, Iowa
Today's classroom teachers are eager to help students not just meet but master the standards, but many are unprepared, ill-equipped, or misguided. This book solves that problem. Michelle Manville provides ELA teachers with a wealth of useful resources and research-based strategies that allows them to deliver rigorous, meaningful, and creative instruction in their classrooms. -- Jade Lewis, East Buchanan C-1 High School English, Gower, MO
