NYS English Grade 10!

Think of a mentor text that could be part of your unit plan, or one you are currently using- or hope to use in the future. Create a chart similar to the one on pa.72 for your mentor text and supporting materials you will use. Use the same 3 headings

Think about:

What are some procedures you will put into place that will allow you to address the NYS Next Generation ELA Language standard on a daily basis?

Will you pull from Atwell's workshop model that places a lot of responsibility on the student?

Do you want to create a class website/blog similar to Grammar Girl?
If you do this: Who will up-date it? How will you make sure every student is involved & engaged?

Personally, I used to address grammar and vocabulary in daily mini-lessons. This required mapping out what I needed to both introduce and reinforce throughout the year. I also had to be aware that I would need to spiral back to revisit some topics and concepts more than once if I continued to see errors in written and oral expression.

Note:
Although this is an overview of texts and resources, you need to select them with how they will help you address learning standards-especially grammar and usage. You need not articulate (in writing) why you have selected the texts/resources you have, but, you must keep in mind what you hope students will learn, and how you will assess this on a formative & summative fashion throughout the year. It is not enough to select a novel you like and teach it the way you remember it being taught in high school.

I will attach part 1 of the assignment and everything else that may help you with it.
