1 instruction and pacing When to Teach Language Standards Related to The Standards outline the following language standards for grammar for (in the chart below). Note that this progression suggests that even middle school students review, at grade level, earlier standards. The Flex Day self-guided lesson activities cover the key grammar topics called out for grade 6-8. The Amplify ELA four-volume series, Mastering Conventions, provides approximately 1,000 pages of targeted grammar instruction and skill drills. The volumes provide instruction for middle schoolers, but also address foundational skills middle school students may not have fully mastered in grades 3 5. The chart below shows just a few of the many lessons in Mastering Conventions that address each progressive and middle grade skill and correspond to the lesson activities in that Flex Day. On the Flex Day mentioned, the Materials section of the Flex Day lesson brief includes the Mastering Conventions lessons listed in this chart to provide whole class instruction on that topic. Use additional lessons from Mastering Conventions and from the Foundational column for students who require more reinforcement. The pacing of the Flex Days make sure that every student is current on both foundational and grade-level skills, and, where workable, to make it possible for advanced students to achieve even greater control over sentence mechanics and usage. Note that the most important part of Amplify ELA grammar instruction is to follow each bit of grammar instruction with an opportunity for students to practice the skill in a meaningful piece of writing and to get authentic feedback on the clarity and power of their sentences. Volumes below refer to Volumes 1 through 4 of Mastering Conventions. Standards below refer to CA CCSS. Lesson Activities UNIT B Flex Day 1 The Complete Stream I: The Basic Complete 3.
