Outcomes
 Understand the “what and why” of
Unpacking the Standards
 Understand the need for planning for Tier 2
and Tier 3 words across the curriculum
 Consider how teachers might use Thinking
Maps to unpack standards for designing a
unit lesson plan
 Consider implications/advantages to
“unpacking” across the curriculum
What does it mean to “Unpack” A Standard
 “Unwrapped standards provide clarity as to what
students must know and be able to do. When
teachers take the time to analyze each standard and
identify its essential concepts and skills, the result is
more effective instructional planning, assessment,
and student learning”
Ainsworth (2003)
Benefits of Unpacking
 Greater clarity to all K-12 teachers and administrators
 Improved alignment
 Improved continuity for students between courses and

between grades
Increased opportunities for curriculum integration
Provides educators with a baseline or starting point for lesson
planning and differentiated instruction
Provides clarity on which skills and concepts should be taught
and assessed
"The Process" - Allows teachers and administrators to
determine what matters most i.e., pacing, assessment, Power

Vocabulary
 Tier 2 words
 General academic words that are far more likely to appear in
written text than speech
 Often represent subtle or precise ways to say relatively simple
things (saunter instead of walk)
 Tier 3 words
 Specific to domain or field of study
 Key to understanding the new concept within text
 Can be viewed as “new” and “hard’ words by students
 Often explicitly defined by author and repeatedly used

In early times, no one knew how volcanoes formed or
why they sprouted red-hot molten rock. In modern
times, scientists began to study volcanoes. They still
don’t know all the answers, but they know much about
how a volcano works.
Our planet is made up of many layers of rock. The top
layers of solid rock are called the crust. Deep beneath
the crust is the mantle, where it is so hot that some rock
melts. The melted, or molten, rock is called magma.
Volcanoes are formed when magma pushes its way up
through the crack in the Earth’s crust. This is called a
volcanic eruption. When magma pours forth on the
surface , it is called lava.

Work with equal groups of objects to gain foundations for
multiplication.

Determine
whether a group
of objects (up to
20) has an odd or
even number of
members, e.g. by
pairing objects or
counting them by
2’s; write an
equation to
express an even
number as a sum
of two equal
addends.

Directions
 1. Each table is given a set of Anchor Standards for
Reading.
 Unpack the Anchor Standards by placing each
standard under the appropriate cluster(heading).
 Share any discoveries regarding the Anchor
Standards.

what the text says explicitly
and to make logical
inferences from it; cite
specific textual evidence

support conclusions drawn
from the text

themes of a text and analyze
their development;
summarize the key
supporting details and ideas
Analyze how and why
individuals, events, and ideas
develop and interact over the

Craft and
Structure
Interpret words and phrases as they
are used in a text, including
determining technical , connotative,
and figurative meanings, and analyze
how specific word choices shape
meaning or tone
Analyze the structure of texts,
including how specific sentences,
paragraphs, and larger portions
of the text (e.g., a section,
chapter, scene, or stanza) relate to
each other and the whole
Assess how point of view or purpose
shapes the content and style of a text
Integration of
Knowledge and
Ideas
Integrate and evaluate
content presented in
diverse media and formats,
including visually and
quantitatively, as well as in

the authors take
