What is a Text-Dependent Analysis? Text-dependent analysis require close reading of a text. 9 An Excellent Education for Every Student Every Day
What is a Text-Dependent Analysis? These questions require students to provide evidence from the text to draw inferences based on what the text says in order to support an analysis. 10 An Excellent Education for Every Student Every Day
What is a Text-Dependent Analysis? This is different from reading comprehension questions which require students to read to get the gist of the text. Not Text-Dependent Analysis Question: Text-Dependent Analysis Question: In the text there once was a curious bird who says to Tortoise, And you showed yourself, too. Describe a time when you showed yourself you could do something. The text begins with: There once was a curious bird who wondered, What can a small bird be? Write an essay that analyzes why the authors chose to begin the text with this question. Use evidence from the text to support your response. 11 An Excellent Education for Every Student Every Day
Depth of Knowledge and TDA Questions Depth of Knowledge (DOK) Description DOK 1 Recall and Reproduction Basic recall of concepts, definitions, facts, and processes Simple skills and abilities or recall of one right answer Answering a Level 1 item can involve following a simple well-known procedure or formula DOK 2 Basic Application of Skills and Concepts Includes the engagement of some mental processing beyond recalling or reproducing a response Items require students to make some decisions as to how to approach the question or problem acting on the information These actions imply more than one mental or cognitive process/step, but there is still one right answer DOK 3 Strategic Thinking Requires deep understanding as exhibited through planning or sequencing steps Requires some decision making with justification and evidence Assessment items have more than one possible answer and are abstract, complex, or non-routine DOK 4 Extended Thinking Requires high cognitive demand and is very complex An investigation or application that requires time to research, think, or process multiple conditions of the problem Non-routine manipulations or connections across disciplines/content/areas/multiple sources 12
