Author's Purpose & Craft is not PIE

I analyzed the Author's Purpose & Craft questions on the last three years of STAAR: 2019, 2021, & 2022. There are MANY different verbs used in the answer options, and I encourage teachers to not oversimplify this TEKS into "PIE" and to instead teach a wide variety of verbs when discussing purpose.

Academic Vocabulary of Composition

I'm working on academic vocabulary lessons for language of composition. I want to provide teachers with all the scaffolds and stems to get students talking and interacting with the terms that they will have to know when they are assessed on writing TEKS on the redesigned STAAR.

PLC PLANNING PACK! PLC PLANNING PACK!

Here are the files for the "PLC Planning Packs" for 6-8th eligible TEKS for Reading. For my teachers, I printed the readiness standards on green cardstock and the supporting on yellow cardstock. At teacher request, I put all of them on a binder ring. The purpose for the cards is to give collaborative teams a quick way to keep these tested standards "front and center" during team design time no matter what texts they are working with in class. The question stems from STAAR are also included on the cards to make designing quick formative assessments easier.

They are "view only" but you can make a copy and adjust how you want.

Interconnected Planning Flip-charts!

In my efforts to make planning with the interconnected TEKS easier, I created little TEKS flip-charts for my teachers. The links to the files are below. They are half-sheet and they are spiral-bound. My original plan was to simply print on cardstock and bind with an old Ibico plastic-binder machine that we have in the workroom. My secretary wanted them to look nicer, so we ended up sending these files to a local printer and we paid to have them printed, bound, and assembled.

Text Set Curation

In our efforts to build stacks of multiple genre texts for teachers to access easily as they have students reading many different texts, this is our text curation template. This one is for 6th grade (they are TEKS-specific so there is one per grade level.) It's still a "work-in-progress", but it definitely pushed teams to discuss texts on a different level this summer.
