1 Grade 2 Language Arts Course Description and Philosophy How can we express what we feel, think, and know to others? What are some ways that we can share our thoughts clearly so we will be understood by our friends, family, and teachers? How is our verbal communication linked to our written expression? The purpose of the 2 nd grade language arts curriculum is to provide a successful program for teaching and improving fluency in areas including writing, speaking, listening, spelling, and writing mechanics. Students are given multiple opportunities to express their thoughts, ideas, and emotions through formal, as well as, informal writing lessons, experiences, and discussions. Learning about writing as a process helps students to produce thoughtful, expressive, and concise written products. Through linking the process and product of writing, students will begin to appreciate writing as a mode of thinking and communicating. Writer s Workshop is one way that is used to establish different types of writing, as well as, developing purposeful writing and effective writing skills. Guided Writing is used to focus the learning of a specific skill and is then directly applied to the current writing piece. In addition to organic writing activities, formal spelling and grammar lessons are incorporated into the Language Arts program. Students are provided with various opportunities to practice conventions of standard English related to writing such as: grammar, spelling, vocabulary acquisition, and handwriting. Various materials are used throughout the year to generate a well rounded, enriching program that reinforces students skills and abilities through modeling and discovery learning styles. Through active listening and speaking, students gain understanding and appreciation of good communication. Effective listeners are able to question, interpret, respond to, reflect and evaluate oral communication. Students also recognize that what they say, read, and write contributes to the quality of their daily experiences. Many activities help students to acquire the skills necessary to connect with others, develop vocabulary, and gain an understanding of the structure of the English language. Class discussions, questioning, sharing, role-playing, presenting, and research all contribute to the content and quality of students writing ability, as well as, oral language.

2 Unit I: Writing Essential Question: How can students use writing to demonstrate an increased ability in all aspects of language use from vocabulary to the development and organization of ideas to communicate their thoughts, experiences, and knowledge? Objectives: Students will be able to: Observe the modeling of writing Begin to develop an awareness of simple story structures and author s voice through narrative compositions Use sentences to introduce a topic and develop points that provide information and help to convey concluding statements Maintain the use of a basic writing process to develop writing: journals, essays, picture stories, open-ended responses, and reading responses Use graphic organizers to assist with planning writing Compose readable first drafts Use everyday words and their respective definitions in appropriate written context Reread drafts for meaning, to add details, and to improve correctness Focus on elaboration as a strategy for improving writing Participate, with peers, to comment on and react to each other s writing Use a simple checklist to improve elements of own writing Use computer writing applications during some parts of the writing process Use writing as a tool for learning self-discovery and reflection Use reading and technology to support writing Analyze text to form an opinion that provide details and examples from introduced literature Revise compositions for sequence structure through the use of temporal words 2

Cross curricular, research-based projects will be a focal point of collaboration among students, which will enable them to develop, present and cite both online and print sources. For example, President Projects, Climate Mural, and Cultural Studies will be topics for these researchbased activities. Current events projects will be used to compare and contrast world events and to offer an individual perspective, as well as, develop an understanding of mutual respect of opposing views.
