As an elementary reading and English language arts teacher, you must become familiar with the content standards for the state in which you teach. Creating a graphic organizer of the standards that apply to your grade level will create top-of-mind awareness as you teach. In this assignment, you prepare for your Wk 6 – Summative Assessment: Integrated Literacy Unit by analyzing the ELA standards for a specific grade level.
Review the Wk 6 – Summative Assessment: Integrated Literacy Unit.
Select the grade level you plan to use when creating your integrated literacy unit in Week 6.
Review your state’s elementary reading and English language arts content standards for the grade level you have selected for your integrated literacy unit.
Create a graphic organizer (such as a table or matrix) that summarizes the standards for your chosen grade level. Include the following in your graphic organizer:
· Selected grade level
· A 1- to 2-sentence description of each section of language arts standards (e.g., reading standards for literature, reading standards for informational text, etc.) appropriate for learners in this grade level
· Major concepts within each set of standards (e.g., skills such as determining the central idea of a story or poem, comparing/contrasting versions of the same story, identifying the main idea of a passage, etc.)
