Learning Standards for:
English Language Arts at Three
Levels

Standard 1: Students
will read, write, listen, and speak for information and understanding.
As listeners and readers, students
will collect data, facts, and ideas; discover relationships, concepts,
and generalizations; and use knowledge generated from oral, written,
and electronically produced texts. As speakers and writers, they
will use oral and written language to acquire, interpret, apply,
and transmit information.

Listening and reading to acquire information and understanding
involves collecting data, facts, and ideas; discovering relationships,
concepts, and generalizations; and using knowledge from oral,
written, and electronic sources.
Students:
- gather and Interpret Information from
children's reference books, magazines, textbooks, electronic
bulletin boards, audio and media presentations, oral Interviews,
and from such forms as charts, graphs, maps, end diagrams
- select Information appropriate to
the purpose of their Investigation and relate Ideas from
one text to another
- select and use strategies they have
been taught for note taking, organizing and categorizing
Information
- ask specific questions to clarify
and extend meaning
- make appropriate and effective use
of strategies to construct meaning from print, such as prior
knowledge about a subject, structural and context clues,
and an understanding of letter-sound relationships to decode
difficult words
- support inference about Information
and Ideas with reference to text features, such as vocabulary
and organizational patterns.
This is evident, for example when
students:
- accurately paraphrase what they have
heard or read
- follow directions that involve a few
steps
- ask for clarification of a classmate's
idea in a group discussion
- use concept maps, semantic webs, or
outlines to organize information they have collected
|
2.
Speaking and writing to acquire and transmit information requires
asking probing and clarifying questions, interpreting information
in one's own words, applying information from one context to
another, and presenting the information and interpretation clearly,
concisely, and comprehensibly.
Students:
- present Information clearly in a variety
of oral and written forms such as summaries, paraphrases,
brief reports, stories, posters, and charts
- select a focus, organization, and
point of view for oral and written presentations
- use a few traditional structures for
conveying Information such as chronological order, cause
and effect, and similarity and difference
- use details, examples, anecdotes,
or personal experiences to explain or clarify Information
- include relevant information end exclude
extraneous material
- use the process of pre-writing, drafting,
revising and proofreading ( the "writing process") to produce
well-constructed Informational texts
- observe basic writing conventions,
such as correct spelling punctuation, and capitalization,
as well as sentence and paragraph structures appropriate
to written form.,
This is evident, for example, when students:
- write a short report on a topic in
social studies using information from at least two different
sources
- demonstrate the procedures for caring
for a classroom pet using props or other visual aids as
well as oral explanation
- revise early drafts of a report to
make the information clearer to the audience
- use the vocabulary from their content
area reading appropriately and with correct spelling
- produce brief summaries of chapters
from text books, clearly indicating the most significant
information and the reason for its Importance.
