INTENSIVE ENGLISH LITERACY (Elementary 6-10-year-old)
ESSENTIAL UNIT 6 (E06)
(Foundations of Language and Literacy) (July 2014)
Unit Statement: The teacher will use this unit to establish language and literacy routines using best practices (e.g. interactive student activities, the Daily 5 or Readers and Writers Workshop). It is suggested that a literacy portfolio, which includes a section for language development (see the EAL Speaking and Listening Continuum in the QSI Literacy User’s Guide), be created to track language and literacy progress from year to year (see appendix for literacy portfolio contents).
Students must be active participants. A student cannot learn a language without actively using it. Vocabulary instruction involves engaging students with talk that will promote their thought, language, and reading skills, foster critical thinking, develop verbal reasoning skills, and build background knowledge. Examples of best practices for language routines include: explicit instruction (forms and functions of language, academic language), oral language practice and rehearsal (appropriate phrasing, accurate grammar, clear pronunciation), student to student interactions in context, and multiple exposures and practice (e.g.‘conversation stem’ activities. For more examples, see the “Interaction” section of the Language Learning Strategies table in this document.).
This unit is designed to be opened after Essential Unit E05 and should not be closed or assessed until the end of year one or when the student is engaged in Essential Unit E14. This unit is designed to be opened in conjunction with other units as it is intended to support those units.
Oral Assessment: The teacher will administer the IDEAS Proficiency Test (IPT Oral) at enrollment and each May/June until the student exits the IE program.
Reading Assessment: The teacher will administer the Fountas and Pinnell Benchmark Assessment (or the DRA) at least three times a year (August/September, December/January, and May/June). This assessment should be given until the student’s instructional reading level has been identified.
Unit Emphasis: Listening skills: follow directions, respond to commands, negotiate meaning and respond to oral activities Speaking skills: talk with fluency and automaticity, paraphrase, engage in oral conversation Reading Strategies: making connections, asking questions, inferring, predicting, creating mental images, synthesizing (analyze and evaluate), determining importance, monitoring comprehension (monitor/clarify) Reading Skills: cause and effect, main idea, sequence, story structure (elements), author’s purpose, compare and contrast, fact/opinion, drawing conclusion and making generalizations, text and graphic features, summarizing Writing Genres: narrative, opinion, informative

Suggested Assessment Tools: 1. Attached rubric or teacher-generated rubric that assesses ALL essential outcomes (TSWs). An effective rubric is presented and discussed with the student at the beginning of the unit, referred back to throughout the unit, and used to assess at the end. Students will collaborate with peers and the teacher to assess their own writing with final judgement by the teacher. 2. Writing Pathways (Units of Study Kit) by Lucy Calkins provides rubrics and checklists for teachers and students. 3. “6+1 Traits” writing rubrics 4. Teachers can have students produce a quick write at the beginning and end of units. (*See QSI Quick Write Guidelines) Teachers should keep these as evidence of students’ writing. 5. Elk Grove Common Core Rubrics for narrative, informative, and opinion writing are found in the QSI Literacy User’s Guide. Scoring on these rubrics should follow QSI mastery grading. (Scores on the 1 and 2 points should be P, scores on the 3 should be at the B level and scores on the 4 should be an A.) Document Source: Elk Grove Unified School District, Elk Grove, CA 6.
