Lessons reflect the educational shifts demanded by the standards including the balance of informational texts and literary texts, complex texts of close reading, text-dependent questions and tasks, using text evidence in writing and in oral discussions, classroom collaboration, and using multimedia and technology in practical and creative ways.
