WOW, where did the year go!!! This six weeks ELA will be focusing on Procedural text.
In this unit, students will apply their comprehension skills and strategies to procedural text. After reading procedural texts, students follow and explain the directions given in the text. Students also use graphic features of texts to locate and use information. In writing, students continue to use the writing process as they write for specific purposes and audiences. Students choose the genre/form that is appropriate for their purpose and audience including writing in the form of a letter. Students continue to gain knowledge of words as they study vocabulary in context and apply it to reading and writing.
When provided with a multi-step vocabulary game with
graphic features (e.g., illustrations, key, diagrams, etc.),
read and follow the directions to play the game.
Using appropriate conventions, write a letter to a friend
with a specific purpose (e.g., explain how to do something,
tell about a funny event, introduce yourself to a pen pal
Write multiple entries including thoughts, connections,
and/or strategies that deepen understanding of
procedural, expository, and literary text. Provide evidence
from the text to support ideas.
Readers use strategies to support understanding of text.
Readers create connections to make text personally
relevant and useful.
Record multiple entries in a Word Study Notebook that
demonstrate knowledge of new words, their meanings,
and relationships.
