1 Grade K ELAR Unit 3 Overview Story Elements In this Unit, the teacher will introduce revising and editing through modeled/shared writing. Guided reading groups will meet on a regular basis. Teacher may need to consider regrouping students depending on individual progress. Writer s workshop should be continued on a daily basis with mini lessons, teacher conferencing, and students writing and sharing. Title 3rd Six Weeks 25 Days Suggested Time Frame Students should be exposed to all types of genres (poetry, fiction, nonfiction, etc.) through a variety of reading, regardless of when it is explicitly taught. Students should be writing (with adult assistance in the beginning) daily. Big Ideas/Enduring Understandings Reading Knowing about story elements and retelling helps us understand what we read. We can use our own experiences and clues (inferences/predictions) from a story to help us understand the characters. Writing Authors write sentences in chronological sequence to tell a story. Authors add details to help readers understand a story. Authors write about personal experiences. Guiding Questions What story elements help me understand the story? What words from the story help me understand about the characters? What is the character doing? What is the character feeling? How do I know? What questions should I ask to help add details to my writing? (What did it look/feel/sound like? What was I doing? What was I thinking? How did I feel?) Reading and Writing Connections Reading TEK K.1 Reading/Beginning Reading Skills/Print Awareness K.1G (parts of a book) K.2 Reading/Beginning Reading Skills/Phonological Awareness K.2C (generate rhymes) K.2F (onset and rimes) Word Study/Phonics TEKS K.3 Reading/Beginning Reading Skills/Phonics K.3B (CVC) K.3D (High Frequency Words) Please reference CISD List Writing TEKS K.13 Writing/Writing Process.

What can you tell about this story from the title? Where did the story take place? Who was _ s mother? What did _ do in the story? What happened in the story? When was this article written? What can you tell about this book from the cover? Retell the 3 most important events in this story in the order in which they happened. What happened before (after, when) _? How does the character feel about what happened? Why do you think the character did that? The resources included here provide teaching examples and/or meaningful learning experiences to address the District Curriculum. In order to address the TEKS to the proper depth and complexity, teachers are encouraged to use resources to the degree that they are congruent with the TEKS and research based best practices. Teaching using only the suggested resources does not guarantee student mastery of all standards. Teachers must use professional judgment

Ongoing TEKS: Fig. 19 Reading Bundle Knowledge and Skills with Student Expectations District Specificity/ Examples Vocabulary Instructional Strategies Fig 19 Reading/Comprehension Skills. Students use a flexible range of metacognitive reading skills in both assigned and independent reading to understand an author s message. Students will continue to apply earlier standards with greater depth in increasingly more complex texts as they become self directed, critical readers. The student is expected to: Fig.19A discuss the purposes for reading and listening to various texts (e.g., to become involved in real and imagined events, settings, actions, and to enjoy language); Fig.19(B) ask and respond to questions about text; Fig.19(C) monitor and adjust comprehension (e.g., using background knowledge, creating sensory images, rereading a portion aloud); Begin labeling what students are doing as they respond to text. You just made a prediction. You guessed what was going to happen. What words in the book make you think that? You just made a connection. How does that better help you understand this story? You just drew a conclusion. What were the clues you used? What can you tell about this story from the title? Where did the story take place? Who was _ s mother? What did _ do in the story? What happened in the story? When was this article written? Listen carefully as I reread this story and find out why _ was important.
