Readers use many strategies to figure out unknown words.

Authors use devices such as transitions, organizational patterns,

and strategies to emphasize certain ideas, events, concepts, or

information to build meaning.

Collaborative conversations with others help to build and clarify

ideas.

Writers tell stories by using descriptive details and clear event

sequences.

A command of English Language conventions and grammar brings

clarity and sophistication to writing.

Stage 2: Evidence

Assessments Unit investigation

Summative “Assessment OF learning”

Formative “Assessment FOR learning”

Inquiry and Investigation During the unit, students will participate in the inquiry process. They will… 1. Pose a class question to research 2. Find relevant resources to support the

research which may include digital sources

3. Study the resources and interpret the information to answer the question

4. Report findings in a variety of ways that may include the following:

Class Thinking Maps

Class poster

Class Power Point

Class essay Research findings should be reported on or before October 5, 2018. The Unit Investigation Board should be used as a resource center for students to interact with relevant resources and artifacts that pertain to the class investigation. College and Career Readiness Anchor Standards for Writing 7. Conduct short as well as more sustained

research projects based on focused questions, demonstrating understanding of the subject under investigation.

8. Gather relevant information from multiple print and digital sources, assess the credibility and accuracy of each source, and integrate the information while avoiding plagiarism.

9. Draw evidence from literary or informational texts to support analysis, reflection, and research.

Summative assessments evaluate student learning and understanding at the end of the unit of study. Listed below are the assessment windows for the Foundational Reading Skills Assessments.

Foundational Reading Skills Assessment

Assessment Window

Assessment #1 10/1 – 10/5

Assessment #2 1/30 – 2/5

Assessment #3 5/6 – 5/10

Foundational Skills Standard Students are given the Foundational Reading Skills Assessment to address the following standards:

RF.K.1

RF.K.2

RF.K.3

RF.K.4

Formative assessments monitor student learning and provide ongoing feedback to improve student learning during the unit of study. Formative assessments address all the learning goals for the unit of study. However, not all learning goals are formally addressed in the summative assessment. Teacher created tests, quizzes, and observations should be used as evidence to address the following standards:

Instructional Sequence

Common Core Writing Standard

The purpose of writing instruction is to help strengthen students’ writing skills so they become successful independent writers. A careful balance between assisted writing and unassisted writing must be established to provide opportunities for students to observe good writing and also practice writing on their own. The following writing guidelines clarify the two kinds of writing experiences.

K Writing Program

Modeled Writing

(Assisted Writing) Prompt Writing

(Unassisted Writing)

Purpose: Provide students a strong model for writing Provide students an opportunity to practice independent

writing

Feedback: Conferencing at various stages (brainstorm, organize, write) and

provide feedback on writing Conferencing using the WFBB Analytical Writing Rubric

Use: Celebrate and display best writing in the classroom Writing placed in a writing folder/file to reflect and show

growth over time for the teacher and student

Teacher/student selects 1 piece of writing every other unit

for posting (Units 1, 3, 5, 7, and 9) Teacher/student uses information from WFBB analytic

rubric to reflect, guide instruction, and plan mini-lessons

Frequency: Teacher follows suggested pacing as outlined in WFBB At least 1 unassisted writing piece per every other unit

(Units 1, 3, 5, 7, and 9)

Prompt type: Teacher selected prompt District prompt

What else should be happening in the classroom?

Conferencing with Students

Goal of conferencing is to help the student react to his or her own writing so that he or she can identify possible writing problems and improve upon them.

WFBB Setting the Stage, pages 317 – 319

Mini-Lessons

Goal of mini-lessons is to create a climate in which students develop as writers as they are exposed repeatedly to those criteria necessary for effective writing.
