In Texts, Tasks, and Talk: Instruction to Meet the Common Core in Grades 9-12, Brad Cawn takes a focused look at the disconnect between school standards and classroom instruction. The book examines how to fully align teaching with the intellectual demand of next-generation standards - by pairing instructional goals with high-quality texts, tasks, and talk. It also provides strategies for how to do so, including five key steps for organizing curriculum according to next-generation standards. Through this deliberate selection of texts, creation of tasks, and focus on high-quality talk, students gain the literacy skills they need to succeed.
