English Language Arts 3rd Nine Weeks Grade 5
IntroductionIn 2014, the Shelby County Schools Board of Education adopted a set of ambitious, yet attainable goals for school and student performance. The District is committed to these goals, as further described in our strategic plan, Destination 2025.
By 2025,● 80% of our students will graduate from high school college or career ready● 90% of students will graduate on time● 100% of our students who graduate college or career ready will enroll in a post-secondary opportunity.
In order to achieve these ambitious goals, we must collectively work to provide our students with high quality, College and Career Ready standards-aligned instruction. Acknowledging the need to develop competence in literacy and language as the foundations for all learning, Shelby County Schools developed the Comprehensive Literacy Improvement Plan (CLIP). The CLIP ensures a quality balanced literacy approach to instruction that results in high levels of literacy learning for all students, across content areas. Destination 2025 and the CLIP establish common goals and expectations for student learning across schools and are the underpinning for the development of the English/Language Arts curriculum maps.
Designed with the teacher in mind, the English/Language Arts (ELA) curriculum maps focus on literacy teaching and learning, which include instruction in reading, writing, speaking and listening, and language. This map presents a framework for organizing instruction around the TN State Standards (CCR) so that every student meets or exceeds requirements for college and career readiness. The standards define what to teach at specific grade levels, and this map provides guidelines and research-based approaches for implementing instruction to ensure students achieve their highest potentials.
A standards-based curriculum, performance-based learning and assessments, and high quality instruction are at the heart of the ELA Curriculum maps. Educators will use this map and the standards as a road map for curriculum and instruction. Carefully crafted curricular sequences and quality instructional resources enable teachers to devote more time and energy in delivering instruction and assessing the effectiveness of instruction for all learners in their classrooms, including those with special learning needs.

English Language Arts 3rd Nine Weeks Grade 5
How to Use the Literacy Curriculum MapsOur collective goal is to ensure our students graduate ready for college and career. This will require a comprehensive, integrated approach to literacy instruction that ensures that students become college and career ready readers, writers, and communicators. To achieve this, students must receive literacy instruction aligned to each of the elements of effective literacy program seen in the figure to the right.
This curriculum map is designed to help teachers make effective decisions about what literacy content to teach and how to teach it so that, ultimately, our students can reach Destination 2025. To reach our collective student achievement goals, we know that teachers must change their instructional practice in alignment the with the three College and Career Ready shifts in instruction for ELA/Literacy. We should see these three shifts in all SCS literacy classrooms:
(1) Regular practice with complex text and its academic language.
(2) Reading, writing, and speaking grounded in evidence from text, both literary and informational.
(3) Building knowledge through content-rich nonfiction.
Throughout this curriculum map, you will see high-quality texts that students should be reading, as well as some resources and tasks to support you in ensuring that students are able to reach the demands of the standards in your classroom. In addition to the resources embedded in the map, there are some high-leverage resources around each of the three shifts that teachers should consistently access:

The TNCore Literacy Standards (also known as the College and Career Ready Literacy Standards):
http://www.tncore.org/english_language_arts.aspx
Teachers can access the TNCore standards, which are featured throughout this curriculum map and represent college and career ready student learning at each respective grade level.
Shift 1: Regular Practice with Complex Text and its Academic Language
Student Achievement Partners Text Complexity Collection:
http://achievethecore.org/page/642/text-complexity-collection
Teachers can learn more about how to select complex texts (using quantitative, qualitative, and reader/task measures) using the resources in this collection.
Student Achievement Partners Academic Word Finder: http://achievethecore.org/page/1027/academic-word-finder
Teachers can copy and paste a text into this tool, which then generates the most significant Tier 2 academic vocabulary contained within the text.
Shift 2: Reading, Writing and Speaking Grounded in Evidence from the Text
Student Achievement Partners Text-Dependent Questions Resources:
http://achievethecore.org/page/710/text-dependent-question-resources
Teachers can use the resources in this set of resources to craft their own text-dependent questions based on their qualitative and reader/task measures text complexity analysis.
Shift 3: Building Knowledge through Content-Rich Non-fiction
Student Achievement Partners Text Set Projects Sequenced:
http://achievethecore.org/page/1112/text-set-project-building-knowledge-and-vocabulary
Teachers can use this resource to learn about how to sequence texts into “expert packs” to build student knowledge of the world.

English Language Arts 3rd Nine Weeks Grade 5
Curriculum Maps, Grades 3-5
● Begin by examining the text(s) selected for the week. Read them carefully and become familiar with both the text(s) and the “big Idea” for the week.
● Locate the TDOE Standards in the left column. Analyze the language of the standards, and match each standard to a learning target in the center column. Note that Reading Anchor Standard 1 and Reading Anchor Standard 10 are not included in the curriculum maps but should be addressed every week, as students should consistently be reading rigorous grade-level texts and citing evidence when writing or speaking about the text:
○ CCR Reading Anchor Standard 1: 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.
○ CCR Reading Anchor Standard 10: Read and comprehend complex literary and informational texts independently and proficiently.
● Consult your Journeys Teachers’ Edition (TE) and other cited references to map out your week(s) of instruction.● Plan your weekly and daily objectives, using the learning target statements to help.● Study the suggested performance assessments in the right-hand column, and match them to your objectives.● Plan the questions you will ask each day using these three types of questions: those that derive general understanding, those
that address craft and structure, and those that elicit an overall meaning of the text. Be sure that the questions you ask will lead students to success on your selected performance assessments.
● Examine the other standards and skills you will need to address—writing, reading foundational skills, language skills, and speaking and listening skills.
● Using your Journeys TE and other resources cited in the curriculum map, plan your week using the SCS lesson plan template. Remember to include differentiated activities for small group instruction and literacy stations.

Literacy Station Activities
Decoding: Have students work in pairs to change 9-15 base words into new words. Give each student a blank 9-square grid (or 12 /15 square grid) as a game board. Write a variety of base words on the board, including familiar adjectives (kind, fresh, slow, etc.) and verbs (agree, cover, play, etc.) from the set. Have students copy 9-15 of the words onto their game boards in random order. Place the prefixes and suffixes cards in a bag. Students take turns to draw from bag and read it aloud. Students try to make a word by adding that prefix or suffix to one of their base words, and writing it in the square. Continue until one student has changed all of his or her words into new words. Use these words to write sentence and underline the new word.
Link to word part practice https://learnenglishkids.britishcouncil.org/en/category/vocabulary/word-building
Fluency (optional): Have students echo-read each sentence. Point out that the punctuation marks help them to know when to pause, when to stop, and when to make their voice rise or fall. Remind students that the author gives clues in the passage about how each character is speaking.
