ENGLISH/LANGUAGE ARTS



During the 1st quarter you are launching your reading and writing workshops.? Establishing structure and routines for the workshops and word study is essential during this quarter. This is the time to review your students' portfolios, assess their skills, and begin forming word study groups.? Resources for assessing students and?determining their?developmental?word study stage can be found on the LCPS curriculum webpage for Language Arts. In addition, form guided reading groups for students at the transitional level or below. Begin small group conferring with students of similar strengths and weaknesses. The core writing units for this quarter are Narrative Craft and Nonfiction. The core reading units for this quarter are Launching Reading with Fiction and Nonfiction. Many of the standards in this quarter and in every quarter can be incorporated into read alouds and shared reading in topics related to science and social science such as the changing earth and the geography of the Northeast. Formal and informal assessments can help teachers support students in setting goals. One to the World Initiatives can be integrated into any of the units. This pacing guide was designed by a teacher committee. Standards have been placed in quarters when most students are developmentally ready to be assessed on this skill. Language Arts is a developmental discipline. You will most likely reteach and reassess each skill throughout the year depending on the development of each student.AT A GLANCE: Language Arts Grade 5Topic/FocusRelated SOLApprox. # of WeeksLinks and Resources1st QuarterReading Launching Reading Workshop5.4 a, d, e, f, g5.5 a, g, h, k, l, m5.6 b, d, e, k, m4-5 weeksA Curricular Plan for Reading Workshop, Grade 5 Unit 1: Agency and Independence: Launching Reading with Experienced ReadersUnits of Study for Teaching Reading, Grades 3-5, Unit 1: Building a Reading LifeUnits of Study for Teaching Reading, Grade 5, Unit 1: Interpretation Book Clubs: Analyzing ThemeNonfiction4-5 weeksA Curricular Plan for Reading Workshop, Grade 5, Unit 3: Nonfiction Reading: Using Text Structures to Comprehend Expository, Narrative, and Hybrid Nonfiction.Units of Study for Teaching Reading, Grades 3-5, Unit 3, Vol 1 & Vol. 2: Navigating Nonfiction in Expository TextUnits of Study for Teaching Reading, Grade 5, Unit 2: Tackling Complexity: Moving Up Levels of NonfictionLCPS sample calendar, Grade 5, Unit 2: Tackling Complexity: Moving Up Levels of NonfictionWritingNarrative Craft5.7 a, b, d, i5.8 b, e, jLCENG 1LCENG 24-5 weeksA Curricular Plan for the Writing Workshop, Grade 5, Unit 2: Interpretive Essay: Exploring and Defending Big Ideas in Life and Texts.Units of Study for Teaching Writing, Grades 3-5, Unit 1: Launching the Writing WorkshopUnits of Study in Opinion, Information, and Narrative Writing, Grade 5, Unit 1: Narrative CraftLCPS sample Unit: Launching the Writing WorkshopLCPS sample calendar, Grade 5, Unit 1: Narrative CraftNonfiction Writing4-5 weeksA Curricular Plan for Writing Workshop, Grade 5, Unit 3: Informational Writing: Building on Expository Structures to Write Lively, Voice-Filled Nonfiction Picture BooksUnits of Study for Teaching Writing, Grades 3-5, Unit 2: Raising the Quality of Narrative WritingUnits of Study for Teaching Writing, Grade 5, If…Then…Curriculum, Information Writing: Reading, Research, and Writing in the Content Areas, page 30Communication5.1 a, dIntegrated throughout the dayInteractive Read Aloud by Linda Hoyt, Text Savvy by Sara Daunis and Maria Cassiani Ians, A Guide to the Writing Workshop and A Guide to the Reading Workshop by Lucy Calkins (strategies include: Turn and talk, turn and teach, turn and act, oral rehearsal, partnerships, whole group conversations, book clubs, think alouds)In Quarter 2,?continue to monitor your guided reading and word study groups, shifting?groups as students grow and develop. ?In addition, continually shift your small conferring groups based on your observations and assessments.
