In order to ensure your lesson is aligned to the CCSS framework, you may have to view exemplar text from the grade band in which your instruction is going to take place.  Appendix B of the Common Core provides exemplar texts for ELA or Literacy in History/Social Studies, Science, and Technical Subjects. 

Select one exemplar text from a grade band of your choosing. 

Unpack one standard from that grade level, and write an instructional objective that includes a reference to the selected exemplar text. Use the following resources:
 

• Appendix B: Text Exemplars and Sample Performance Tasks (Links to an external site.)
