Reading Language Arts Common Core Standards
This year, our Language Arts curriculum is a little bit different from last. All instruction will be based on the Common Core State Standards. There is no single textbook, rather, many resources! Learning will be based on a variety of media. Students will be completing many writing assignments, and will be expected to write in every subject.
Our first unit entails learning the difference between comparing and contrasting, as well as narrative writing, summarizing and story elements. Students will be working in collaborative groups and learning how important it is to engage in academic conversations.
Our second Reading Unit entails learning about Opinion writing, becoming an expert on a subject, word choice, and point of view.
Our third Reading Unit entails learning about Using details, Informational Writing, Verb tenses and presentation of information.
