Help:CCSS Templates

To properly format the Common Core State Standards templates, format them like this:

• The name of the standard in bold
• A line break (<br />)
• The standard itself

For example, this code:

'''CCSS.ELA-Literacy.W.9-10.3a'''<br />
Engage and orient the reader by setting out a problem, situation, or observation, establishing one or multiple point(s) of view, and introducing a narrator and/or characters; create a smooth progression of experiences or events.

will produce this output:

CCSS.ELA-Literacy.W.9-10.3a

Engage and orient the reader by setting out a problem, situation, or observation, establishing one or multiple point(s) of view, and introducing a narrator and/or characters; create a smooth progression of experiences or events.

I Can Statements

To create "I Can" templates, navigate to the appropriate Common Core template, and add " I Can" (be aware of the two spaces) to the end of the name in the title bar. When given an option, create the page.

Include the original template in the usual method. Then, add "I Can" statements as a bulleted list immediately below the template tag. For example, this code:

{{CCSS_ELA_Literacy_RL9-10.1}}
*I can make specific references to passages and events from a text to prove what the text says ''directly'' as well as the meaning I can infer ''indirectly''.

will produce this code:

CCSS.ELA-Literacy.RL.9-10.1
Cite strong and thorough textual evidence to support analysis of what the text says explicitly as well as inferences drawn from the text.

• I can define textual evidence ("word for word" support). (K)
• I can define inference and explain how a reader uses textual evidence to reach a logical conclusion ("based on what I've read, it's most likely true that…"). (R)
• I can read closely and find answers explicitly in the text ("right there" answers) and answers that require an inference. (S)
• I can analyze an author's words and determine multiple pieces of textual evidence that strongly and thoroughly support both explicit and inferential questions. (R)
