Statement of Purpose
Unit For Third Grade Language Arts - "All About Fables"
This summative assessment is designed to be used in cooperation with a unit on narrative texts ? specifically fables ? at the third grade level. The main purpose of this assessment is to see if students have mastered comprehension skills associated with understanding fables ? knowing character motivations, isolating morals and understanding format. Additionally, this assessment aims to test vocabulary associated with fables and general reading comprehension skills such as understanding of sequence and character. Because fables are relatively simple in format, this unit would be used at the beginning of the school year and subsequent narrative text-related units would be used to reinforce concepts considered here. For that reason, it is essential that students demonstrate a basic understanding of the structures of narrative text ? particularly character development and sequence. Additionally, they should understand elements specifically related to fables, such as morals. The results of this assessment should be used to guide curriculum in later narrative-text units.
Common Core Standards
RL.3.1. Ask and answer questions to demonstrate understanding of a text, referring explicitly to the text as the basis for the answers.
RL.3.2. Recount stories, including fables, folktales, and myths from diverse cultures; determine the central message, lesson, or moral and explain how it is conveyed through key details in the text.
RL.3.3. Describe characters in a story (e.g., their traits, motivations, or feelings) and explain how their actions contribute to the sequence of events.
Learning Targets ? "I Can" Statements
At the conclusion of this unit, students should be able to say the following:
1. I can show that I understand a story by answering and asking questions about it. (RL.3.1)
2. I can retell stories that I have read. (RL.3.2)
3. I can describe and identify a fable, a folktale, and a myth. (RL.3.2)
4. I can decide what the main lesson, message, or moral of a story is and explain how the story teaches it to me. (RL.3.2)
5. I can give a description of the characters in the story ? who they are and what they feel. (RL.3.3)
6. I can explain how the characters are involved in the story ? when and why they do something. (RL.3.3)
