2 To inspire students to extraordinary achievement everyday! Dear TRUSD Educator, Welcome to a new academic year! This curriculum package has been created to help teachers and other instructional support personnel plan instruction and prepare students for the subject area standards assessments. Additionally, this curriculum package was written to promote high quality, standards-based instruction in all subject areas. Included you will find Expected Learning Outcomes, Course Outline, Unpacked Standards to help establish the breadth and depth to which each content standard must be addressed, Subject Area Standards Assessment Guides, and an appendix. The appendix contains a selection of helpful instructional resources. Curriculum development is a continuous process. As such, these packages are subject to periodic revisions to reflect possible changes in student population and future amendments as the State Educational Frameworks are being rewritten. Through the hard work and commitment of passionate educators over many years, this curriculum package was made a reality. This document reflects the common vision of these dedicated educators. For questions about any section of this package, or to offer comments and suggestions for improvements, please contact the Secondary Curriculum and Instruction Office. Thank you.

3 DEPARTMENT: English Language Arts COURSE TITLE: ELA 7 GRADE LEVEL: 7 LENGTH: CREDITS: 1 Academic School Year N/A PREREQUISITES: Consult Site Counselor OTHER: This course prepares students to meet A-G requirements Course Description: English Language Arts 7 is a course designed for benchmark and strategic students which focuses on the California Content Standards for seventh grade instruction. This is a year long course. The areas covered are reading, writing, written and oral language conventions, and listening and speaking. TEXTBOOK: The Language of Literature, McDougal Littell (adopted 2002) SUPPLEMENTAL MATERIALS: McDougal Littell support materials District approved audio visual materials COURSE OBJECTIVES: Teachers are responsible for covering all the standards in the frameworks; however, in this curriculum packet, the essential standards based on the California STAR Blueprints are highlighted throughout the school year and will be assessed through Subject Area Standards Assessments (SASA) and writing tests. These culminating tests will focus on the essential standards as a means to measure mastery of those standards deemed critical for TRUSD students. Instruction should be designed to cover multiple standards that will be measured in the culminating assessment. This packet includes suggested prompts, culminating assessments, and complementary rubrics outlining proficiency levels with corresponding California Content Standards in reading, writing, written and oral conventions, and speaking and listening. Teachers are expected to plan instruction in writing, written and oral conventions, vocabulary development, reading comprehension. The following is a list of suggested instructional strategies and assessment techniques. 3 P a g e

5 ELA Standards for Grade 7 Mastery of a given standard will be achieved the year it is specified as key. Key Standards are in bold and highlighted in grey. If a standard is not in bold, it is not to imply that the standard is not to be taught. READING 1.0 Word Analysis, Fluency, and Systematic Vocabulary Development Students use their knowledge of word origins and word relationships, as well as historical and literary context clues, to determine the meaning of specialized vocabulary and to understand the precise meaning of grade-level-appropriate words. Vocabulary and Concept Development 1.1 Identify idioms, analogies, metaphors, and similes in prose and poetry. 1.2 Use knowledge of Greek, Latin, and Anglo-Saxon roots and affixes to understand content-area vocabulary. 1.3 Clarify word meanings through the use of definition, example, restatement, or contrast. 2.0 Reading Comprehension (Focus on Informational Materials) Students read and understand grade-level-appropriate material. They describe and connect the essential ideas, arguments, and perspectives of the text by using their knowledge of text structure, organization, and purpose. Structural Features of Informational Materials 2.1 Understand and analyze the differences in structure and purpose between various categories of informational materials (e.g., textbooks, newspapers, instructional manuals, signs). 2.2 Locate information by using a variety of consumer, workplace, and public documents. 2.3 Analyze text that uses the cause-and-effect organizational pattern. Comprehension and Analysis of Grade-Level-Appropriate Text 2.4 Identify and trace the development of an author s argument, point of view, or perspective in text. 2.5 Understand and explain the use of a simple mechanical device by following technical directions. Expository Critique 2.6 Assess the adequacy, accuracy, and appropriateness of the author s evidence to support claims and assertions, noting instances of bias and stereotyping. 3.0 Literary Response and Analysis Students read and respond to historically or culturally significant works of literature that reflect and enhance their studies of history and social science.

Narrative Analysis of Grade-Level-Appropriate Text 3.2 Identify events that advance the plot and determine how each event explains past or present action(s) or foreshadows future action(s). 5 P a g e

6 3.3 Analyze characterization as delineated through a character s thoughts, words, speech patterns, and actions; the narrator s description; and the thoughts, words, and actions of other characters. 3.4 Identify and analyze recurring themes across works (e.g., the value of bravery, loyalty, and friendship; the effects of loneliness). 3.5 Contrast points of view (e.g., first and third person, limited and omniscient, subjective and objective) in narrative text and explain how they affect the overall theme of the work. Literary Criticism 3.6 Analyze a range of responses to a literary work and determine the extent to which the literary elements in the work shaped those responses. WRITING 1.0 Writing Strategies Students write clear, coherent, and focused essays. The writing exhibits students awareness of the audience and purpose.

Grammar 1.2 Identify and use infinitives and participles and make clear references between pronouns and antecedents. 1.3 Identify all parts of speech and types and structure of sentences. 1.4 Demonstrate the mechanics of writing (e.g., quotation marks, commas at end of dependent clauses) and appropriate English usage (e.g., pronoun reference).

Spelling 1.7 Spell derivatives correctly by applying the spellings of bases and affixes.
