CCR1 / Read closely to determine what the text says explicitly and to make logical inferences from it; cite specific textual evidence when writing or speaking to support conclusions drawn from the text. / 1.

EL.07.LI.04 Predict future outcomes supported by the text.
EL.07.LI.08 Infer the main idea when it is not explicitly stated, and support with evidence from the text.
EL.07.LI.09 Infer unstated reasons for actions based on events and images in the text. / · Oregon's cover all elements of the CCSS except "cite."
· CCSSs do not include the specific focus on predicting that Oregon's do.
CCR2 / Determine central ideas or themes of a text and analyze their development; summarize the key supporting details and ideas. / 2. Determine a theme or central idea of a text and analyze its development over the course of the text; provide an objective summary of the text. / EL.07.LI.03 Identify and/or summarize sequence of events, main ideas, and supporting details in literary selections.
EL.07.LI.07 Identify and analyze development of themes conveyed through characters, actions, and images. / · Oregon's cover all elements of the CCSS except that the summary be "objective."
CCR3 / Analyze how and why individuals, events, and ideas develop and interact over the course of a text. / 3. Analyze how particular elements of a story or drama interact (e.g., how setting shapes the characters or plot). / EL.07.LI.05 Identify events that advance the plot, and determine how each event explains past or present action(s) or foreshadows future action(s)..
EL.07.LI.06 Analyze characterization as revealed through a character's thoughts, words, speech patterns, and actions; the narrator's description; and the thoughts, words, and actions of other characters
EL.07.LI.11 Evaluate how well literary elements contribute to the overall effectiveness of a selection (e.g., point of view, importance of the setting to create a mood). / · CCSS addresses the interaction of elements and matches EL.06.LI.07 (grade 6).
· Oregon standards ask for evaluation at grade 7; CCSS asks for analysis.
CCR4 / Interpret words and phrases as they are used in a text, including determining technical, connotative, and figurative meanings, and analyze how specific word choices shape meaning or tone. / 4. Determine the meaning of words and phrases as they are used in a text, including figurative and connotative meanings; analyze the impact of rhymes and other repetitions of sounds (e.g., alliteration) on a specific verse or stanza of a poem or section of a story or drama. / EL.07.LI.10 Explain the effects of common literary devices, such as symbolism, imagery, and metaphor in a variety of literary texts.

Notes
· Oregon Standards address understanding and interpreting figurative language, etc. appear in two places.
o Reading: Literary Text (code LI)
o Reading: Vocabulary (code RE)
· The CCSSs address the interpretation of words in three sections of the CCRs
o Anchor Reading Informational Text Standard 4: (Craft & Structure ... "how specific word choices shape meaning and tone")
o Anchor Reading Literature Standard 4: (Craft & Structure... "how specific word choices shape meaning and tone")
o Anchor Language Standard 5 (Vocabulary Acquisition and Use - "Demonstrate understanding of figurative language, word relationships, and nuances in word meanings.")
CCR5 / Analyze the structure of texts, including how specific sentences, paragraphs, and larger portions of the text (e.g., a section, chapter, scene, or stanza) relate to each other and the whole. / 5. Analyze how a drama’s or poem’s form or structure (e.g., soliloquy, sonnet) contributes to its meaning. / EL.07.LI.13 Differentiate among and discuss the purposes and characteristics of different forms of prose (e.g., short story, novel, essay). / · CCSS specifies drama or poetry; Oregon's specifies prose forms.
· Structure is not addressed specifically in Oregon standards. Oregon standards focus on characteristics of literary forms rather than their structure. CCSSs emphasize a part/whole structural analysis and focus on how the parts contribute to the whole.
CCR6 / Assess how point of view or purpose shapes the content and style of a text. / 6. Analyze how an author develops and contrasts the points of view of different characters or narrators in a text. / EL.07.LI.11 Evaluate how well literary elements contribute to the overall effectiveness of a selection (e.g., point of view, importance of the setting to create a mood). / · No corresponding Oregon standard.
Note
· Reading Literature CCSSs do not include literary nonfiction (e.g., biography and autobiography). These are included in Reading Informational Text CCSSs.
CCR7 / Integrate and evaluate content presented in diverse formats and media, including visually and quantitatively, as well as in words.* / 7. Compare and contrast a written story, drama, or poem to its audio, filmed, staged, or multimedia version, analyzing the effects of techniques unique to each medium (e.g., lighting, sound, color, or camera focus and angles in a film). / · No corresponding Oregon standards addressing performed works of literature. CCSSs call for students to compare text with non-text artistic forms and mediums at each grade level from grade 4 to grade 11/12, each level increasing in rigor.
· Instructional materials will need to include sets of materials (including other art forms and media) of performed versions of literature (audio, video, staged, and multimedia).
· Teacher repertoire will need to include vocabulary and analysis of media other than literature.
CCR8 / Delineate and evaluate the argument and specific claims in a text, including the validity of the reasoning as well as the relevance and sufficiency of the evidence. / (Not applicable to literature) / NA
CCR9 / Analyze how two or more texts address similar themes or topics in order to build knowledge or to compare the approaches the authors take. / 9.

· CCSS focuses on a comparison of the portrayal (rather than analysis of the theme itself.
· CCSS specifies comparison of a fictional work with a historical account.

CCR10 / Read and comprehend complex literary and informational texts independently and proficiently. / 10. By the end of the year, read and comprehend literature, including stories, dramas, and poems, in the grades 6–8 text complexity band proficiently, with scaffolding as needed at the high end of the range. / EL.07.LI.01 Listen to text and read text to make connections and respond to historically or culturally significant works of literature that enhance the study of other subjects. / · CCSS adds complexity band.
· CCSS does not address whether the works enhance the study of other subjects.
· CCSSs include literary nonfiction in Informational Text; Oregon standards include it in Literature. Only stories, dramas, and poetry are specifically included in the CCR Standard 10 for Literature.
