1. Library Resources for Common Core State Standards in Physical Education How to Teach P.E. and E.L.A. at the Same Time

2. Common Core Shifts in ELA/Literacy Shift 2 – Knowledge in the disciplines. Content area teachers outside of the ELA classroom emphasize literacy experiences in their planning and instruction. Shift 5 – Writing from sources. Writing needs to emphasize use of evidence to inform or make an argument. “Common Core Shifts.” engageny. New York State Education Department. Web. 27 Feb. 2012..

3. College and Career Readiness Anchor Standards for Writing Production and Distribution of Writing Produce clear and coherent writing in which the development, organization, and style are appropriate to task, purpose, and audience. Research to Build and Present Knowledge Conduct short as well as more sustained research projects based on focused questions, demonstrating understanding of the subject under investigation. Gather relevant information from multiple print and digital sources, assess the credibility and accuracy of each source, and integrate the information while avoiding plagiarism. Draw evidence from literary or informational texts to support analysis, reflection, and research. “Common Core State Standards for English Language Arts & Literacy in History/Social Studies, Science, and Technical Subjects.” 54.

4. Sports Report Trial implementation – 4 th quarter. Full implementation – September 2012. The guidelines increase the rigor of sports reports for students who cannot participate in gym. By using print and online resources named in the handout, students will be addressing shifts 2 and 5 and the anchor standards for writing. Students who are unable to participate in gym class for a prolonged period of time can present a more in-depth project. I will work with you.

5. Looking Towards the Future Health and Sports Medicine classes can increase the rigor of classroom assignments by using print resources, databases, and evaluated web sites and having students cite their sources. Increase the number of print magazines for students to use for research and sports reports. I can post guided web sites on Destiny that students may use for their projects and/or sports reports. NoodleBib is a database that students can use to cite and annotate sources. Many databases give Lexile levels for the articles. If you are interested, see me.
