2017-2018 M/J Language Arts 3 and M/J Language Arts 3, Advanced, Grade 8 Curriculum Map 1

The following curriculum map is based on the Language Arts Florida Standards (LAFS), which are listed at the beginning of the map and can be accessed at www.cpalms.org. The main resource for the support of instruction is the Florida Collections textbook series and digital platform found at http://my.hrw.com. Required texts and assignments are found in the Collections listed in the table below.

Grade Level Quarter 1 Quarter 2 Quarter 3 Quarter 4

Collection 5: Anne Frank’s Legacy

Collection 3: The Move Toward Freedom

Collection 2: The Thrill of Horror

Required Assessments

PT: Multimedia Campaign DIA: Assessment of Reading 1

VLT 1: Argumentative Essay DIA: Assessment of Reading 2

VLT 2: Informative Essay PT: Literary Analysis

PT: Narrative PT: Media Activity

Novel Study – Second semester: Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde, The Fall of the House of Usher, The Giver, or an appropriate ELA Department/PLC/Grade Level -based selection which does not conflict with reading courses.

The curriculum map represents what is required in each quarter of instruction to ensure all standards are taught as a support for learning. Flexibility is given to the grade level PLC and teachers beyond the required texts and activities to add additional resources from Florida Collections or other outside sources to best support students’ learning needs. In the advanced course, teachers will provide students with additional rigorous reading and writing experiences beyond what is contained in the map. The VLT is the Volusia Literacy Test which will be given two times a year to assess student success with the LAFS. The DIA is the District Interim Assessment of Reading Standards which will be given 2 or 3 times per year. The PT is a Performance Task which will assess student success with specific LAFS linked to a particular unit of the Florida Collections textbook. During class discussion of what has been read, students should consistently be asked to find evidence from the text. This textual evidence should then be used in the students’ writing, research, discussions and presentations. The study and application of vocabulary and grammar should take place within the context of what students read and write.
