ID: voice, vision, identity

"All adolescents struggle to define themselves as they question the world and their place in it. In the ID program, students use reading and writing workshops to discover their identities and mark their place in the world with their own voices and vision. The program's compelling texts and rigorous writing activities prepare students for the academic challenges ahead and inspire belief in their own possibilities by: Engaging readers ; Empowering writers ; Improving ELA skills and achievement."--Website.

"Based on a collaborative model and classroom experience, ID workshops approach literacy development as a rich, dynamic collaboration between teachers and students. A simple resource with a profound promise, the ID Literacy Collaborative follows three principles: 1. Students work with enabling texts ; 2. Students use writing as a mode of social action ; 3. Students use four foundational platforms to help define themselves."--Website.

"In keeping with the Common Core State Standards (CCSS), ID workshops marshal the full strength of rich language -- reading, writing, speaking and listening -- and include a wide range of literate activity required by CCSS: Write in three modes: Arguments to support claims, Explanatory texts to convey information, and Narratives to describe events ; Produce clear, organized writing appropriate to task, purpose and audience ; Assess how point of view shapes the content and style of a text ; Analyze the cumulative impact of word choices on meaning and tone ; Demonstrate increasing sophistication in all aspects of language use ; Use a full spectrum of research skills."--Website.
