LANGUAGE STUDIES SELF-SELECTED READING Students are given time every day to read self-selected novels. The majority of days, this means reading fiction. Many titles have quizzes that students can take on the Book Adventure program. Students will be given goals and expectations that need to be met. Also once a week, students visit the library to borrow literature of their choice. ASSESSMENT AND EVALUATION:  Personal reading goals and goal-achievement  Book Adventure Quizzes  Observation  Reading journal  Book Activities GUIDED READING A variety of teaching methods will be employed. The following are some examples: teacher-led whole class activities, small group activities, literature circles, and individual activities. A good resource for guided reading is “The Teacher's Guide to the Four Blocks”. For individual activities, the CSI teacher's manual for the World of Literature Anthology can be used. RESOURCES:A WORLD OF LITERATURE 3 - C.S.I. ANTHOLOGY, leveled reading, Book Adventure, SRA

They will receive explicit, direct instruction in context of real writing. The models come from teacher's own writing, other authors, or the students' writing. There is always a pre-writing activity: a mental exercise, a jot-list or brainstorming, clustering of ideas, graphic organizers. An editor's checklist will be available in the classroom for students to use. In some writing blocks, there will be a mini-lesson. These include the procedures for writing, the grammar and usage, the types of writing. The model lesson is 10 to 15 minutes (maximum). The more technical aspects of writing, beyond the defined curriculum and beyond what most students are ready for, are the lessons taught individually to students during their conference times. The students will do lots of writing. No one is ever finished. As soon as one piece is completed, the task is to begin another or to return to an earlier piece to refine it. The writing will be kept in a writing folder. Students will also frequently use self-select topics. There are days that student do focused writing (teacher-directed). The Stages of the Writing Process and The 6 Traits of Good Writing are stressed throughout the year. THE STAGES IN THE WRITING PROCESS  Prewriting (Reading, Discussing, Planning, Brainstorming, Selecting [purpose, audience, format]  Composing  Revising, Editing, Proofreading  Conferencing  Writing The Final Draft  Sharing THE SIX TRAITS OF GOOD WRITING  Conventions  Voice  Organization  Ideas  Word Choice
