Creating a graphic organizer of the standards


Assignment Task 1:

As an elementary reading and English language arts teacher, you must become familiar with the content standards for the state in which you teach. Creating a graphic organizer of the standards that apply to your grade level will create top-of-mind awareness as you teach. In this assignment, you prepare for your Wk 6 - Summative Assessment: Integrated Literacy Unit by analyzing the ELA standards for a specific grade level.

Review - Summative Assessment: Integrated Literacy Unit.

Select the grade level you plan to use when creating your integrated literacy unit in Week 6.

Review your state's elementary reading and English language arts content standards for the grade level you have selected for your integrated literacy unit.

Create a graphic organizer (such as a table or matrix) that summarizes the standards for your chosen grade level. Include the following in your graphic organizer:

  • Selected grade level
  • A 1- to 2-sentence description of each section of language arts standards (e.g., reading standards for literature, reading standards for informational text, etc.) appropriate for learners in this grade level
  • Major concepts within each set of standards (e.g., skills such as determining the central idea of a story or poem, comparing/contrasting versions of the same story, identifying the main idea of a passage, etc.)

Assignment Task 2:

Scenario: Your school district has asked you to develop a short presentation on the key components of cognitive development, language learning, and literacy. The presentation will be given at the district's reading development training for all new elementary teachers. Remember, it is important for these teachers to understand current language acquisition and literacy theories, standards, and research; as well as how they might support primary readers' experiential, cognitive, social, emotional, cultural, and linguistic development in their classrooms. New elementary teachers also need to understand the roles that sight words, the alphabet, and phonological awareness play as children transition from oral to written language.

Create a 12- to 15-slide presentation about language learning and literacy. Address the following components in your presentation:

  • Describe the following principles:
  • Evidence of current language acquisition and literacy theories, standards, and research
  • Support for primary readers' experiential, cognitive, social, emotional, cultural, and linguistic development
  • Meaningful classroom or at-home activities and interactions that influence children's language acquisition and reading
  • The roles that sight words, the alphabet, and phonological awareness play in children's transition from oral to written language
  • Support for the conversational and academic language development of English learners
  • Techniques used for differentiating reading instruction
  • Research and describe the following approaches to reading and writing instruction that are supported by the science of reading:
  • The Simple View of Reading
  • Scarborough's Rope Model
  • Explicit and systematic phonics instruction (structured literacy)
  • Include detailed speaker notes, a title slide, and a reference slide.
  • Cite your resources according to APA guidelines.

Consult the textbook readings and additional resources in this week's Learning Activities folder as you develop your presentation.
