view exemplar text from the grade band in which your instruction is going to take place.

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.)
