And yet, alongside centering the texts we’re reading I also intentionally prioritize bringing standards focused instruction to the forefront when I see how it can leverage my students’ understanding of the texts they’re being asked to read.

Context: We’re deep in our unit learning about habitats and animal adaptations for survival. Knowledge building has taken a center stage here.

Welcome to our classroom: We’re focused on the nuances of informational text. Bringing awareness to ways the authors have supported us, as readers, in acquiring information from their written work. Attempt at applying my learning from ⬇️⬇️⬇️ @MrZachG @Doug_Lemov @Steplab_co
