Linking CCSS to Your Curriculum:
Lessons for Mastering Standards

No need to change curriculum because of CCSS! Developed after the Common Core State Standards were released, Linking CCSS to Your Curriculum offers a customizable and flexible “how to” for integrating the CCSS into your existing Middle School curriculum.

Designed to work with your Middle School curriculum, Linking CCSS to Your Curriculum is comprised of seventeen lessons; each one specifically developed to provide numerous examples of the target standard embedded within a 4-paragraph text specifically written to best address the skills in the standard.

Students build their knowledge of the standard by citing textual evidence and recording responses in the graphic organizer included. Students then apply and practice the concepts learned in the lessons as they read their existing classroom text. The lessons may be taught in any order for ease of integration into your Middle School curriculum.

Linking CCSS to Your Curriculum is a vital tool for seamlessly integrating the Common Core State Standards into your Middle School curriculum.
