Acronym jokes aside, whether or not you’re proficient with Literacy Design Collaborative (LDC), their modules are excellent resources for all things K-12 writing. In preparing a Text-Dependent Analysis workshop for ELA teachers I immediately looked at the LDC modules to increase students’ understanding of analysis.
Their Text-Dependent Analysis module, intended as a lesson for 4th/5th grade students complete with lesson plan and handouts, is a perfect way to increase students’ own knowledge about TDA since they are the ones who will be tackling these questions on PSSA.
If you haven’t explored the LDC Curriculum Library, you’re missing out on a resource which allows users to filter by rating, type and grade level. Enjoy!
