Workshop One: Analyzing and Planning to Teach Complex Texts
Date: Monday, July 14
Teaching complex texts requires intentional planning. This session provides educators with frameworks for analyzing and integrating complex texts into instruction, ensuring accessibility for all students. Participants will explore strategies for leveraging background knowledge, emphasizing key vocabulary, and using linked text sets to build comprehension.
Key Learning Objectives:
Understand the factors that contribute to text complexity and learn to analyze text to plan for responsive instruction.
Identify text complexity elements specific to literary and informational passages and leverage text structures and features to support comprehension.
Recognize the crucial role that vocabulary and background knowledge play in complex text comprehension and apply high-leverage techniques for activating and strengthening students’ semantic networks.
Learn frameworks for developing linked text sets that support decoding, comprehension, and sustained learning on a topic.
Integrate multimedia resources to enhance engagement with complex texts and deepen comprehension.
Afternoon Application Session (In-Person Only):
Analyze texts for complexity, create instructional planning materials, and curate linked text sets to support deeper comprehension.
