One weaknesses of the Common Core Standards is that it is not searchable or sortable. That means if you want to see how a skill or a type of essay progresses across grades and domains (writing, reading, speaking/listening), you must rechart everything. That’s exactly what I’ve done for you. These are free downloads:
- COMMON CORE ARGUMENTS: Comparison of K-12 Reading, Writing, Speaking/Listening
COMMON CORE INFORMATIVES: Comparison of K-12 Reading, Writing, Speaking/Listening- COMMON CORE NARRATIVES: Comparison of K-12 Reading, Writing, Speaking/Listening
- COMMON CORE RESEARCH REPORTS: Comparison of K-12 Reading, Writing, Speaking/Listening
Finally, a few weeks ago, we discussed search engines, especially Google, and how the algorithms used to display results are creating Filter Bubbles, making search engines increasingly subjective. We have developed this into a full lesson plan with 13 pages of student handouts ($4.99).
