Independent Reading Presentation Rubric
The state of Michigan says you should be able to do these things. This unit contributes to all of them.
CCR1 – Read closely to determine what the text says explicitly and to make logical inferences from it; cite specific textual evidence when writing or speaking to support conclusions from the text (you should be able to say what a text says as well as make guesses about what you’re supposed to get from “reading between the leans”. You should be able to find specific parts of a text that support your ideas.)
CCR2 – Determine central ideas or themes of a text and analyze their development; summarize the key supporting details and ideas. (You should be able to tell what ideas the author wants us to take from a text and be able to point to specific passages
CCR7 – Integrate and evaluate content presented in diverse formats and media, including visually and quantitatively, as well as in words. (you should be able to use and judge the value of information presented in different ways–including pictures and graphs and charts)
CCR9 – Analyze how two or more texts address similar themes or topics in order to build knowledge or to compare the approaches the authors take. (you should be able to say something about how two or more pieces of writing deal with the same ideas)
CCR10 – Read and Comprehend complex literary and informational texts independently and proficiently.
Writing:
CCR2 – Write informative/ explanatory texts to examine and convey complex ideas and information clearly and accurately through the effective selection, organization, and analysis of content
