This standard is addressed by the student edition as a whole, which functions as an interactive Handbook of the English Language. Part 1 of the textbook, Writing, provides step-by-step instruction in the writing process. Part 2 of the textbook, entitled Grammar, Usage, and Mechanics, provides thorough coverage of the principles of grammar, usage, and mechanics. Chapters include (but are not limited to) the following: • The Parts of

Speech (pp. 366–407)

• Verb Usage (pp. 518–559)

6. include a Handbook of English Language within the text for writing support (grades 5-12) and a supplemental handbook for grades K-4.

46

• Miscellaneous Problems in Usage (pp. 638–661)

In addition, pages at the end of the program, starting on p. 918, include the following reference resources for students: • Citing Sources

and Preparing Manuscript (pp. 918–924)

• Commonly Overused Words (pp. 930–931)

• Commonly Misspelled Words (pp. 932–933)

• Abbreviations Guide (pp. 934–937)

• Proofreading Symbols (p. 938)

Both the writing chapters and the language/ grammar chapters are structured developmentally and thus can be easily presented

47

in both block and multi-day instructional plans. Each chapter is structured to allow in-depth instruction in the major concepts. In the teacher’s edition, In-depth Lesson Plans on the Time and Resources Manager pages for each chapter lay out a three to four day lesson plan for the chapter. See for example, pp. 48a, 366a, and 846a. Other planning materials on the Time and Resource Manager pages include the following (for examples, see pp. 48a–48b, 366a–366b, and 846a–846b): • Accelerated

Adapting Lesson Plans

• Integrated Skills Coverage

48

• Meeting Individual Needs

• Block Scheduling

• Assessment Support

In addition, Teacher Express CD-ROM which contains lesson planning software, searchable and printable resources, and integrated teaching calendar for lesson organization can be used to save, edit, personalize, and schedule lesson plans.

As noted above under B.3, General Evaluation Criteria: Scientifically Based Research Strategies, the teacher’s edition includes a step-by-step developmental teaching guide for every chapter that includes notes/guides on each of the

Bloom’s Taxonomy competencies including prior knowledge: see, for example, Activate Prior Knowledge, pp. 75, 99, 368, 379, 386, 394, 779, and 801. Ongoing Assessment support references follow the development of each lesson from Diagnose through Monitor and Reinforce, Prerequisite Skills, and Assess Mastery (see, for example, pp. 367, 370, 376, and 377) so that teachers can track the flow of previously taught skills and strategies. In addition, each of the Grammar, Usage, and Mechanics chapters begins with a Diagnostic Test, the results of which guide the teacher through the sections of the

50

chapter (see, for example, pp. 479, 519, and 563) through Ongoing Assessment charts in the teacher’s edition (see, for example, teacher’s wrap on pp. 478–479, 518–519, and 562–563.

Both the writing chapters and the language/ grammar chapters are structured developmentally. Writing chapters focus on both general and specific strategies in several categories that repeat: • Prewriting pp.

52

categories include, but are not limited to the following: • Choosing Your

TWELFTH GRADE ENGLISH LANGUAGE ARTS K-12 (COMPOSITION, GRAMMAR, HANDWRITING, JOURNALISM AND SPEECH)

SPECIFIC CRITERIA FOR CONTENT AND SKILLS

Reading and English Language Arts twelfth grade students will focus and polish personal skills and goals. Experiences such as a senior project or a sophisticated persuasive research paper will culminate the graduation experience. Evaluation, analysis and appreciation of language and literature in spoken and written form will be the primary focus. Readiness for the work place, by thinking creatively and logically to solve problems and using tools that are essential for workplace productivity, and post secondary education is the final educational reality check during the twelfth grade year. To meet the needs of the 21st century student, instructional delivery should be enhanced through a wide range of media. The West Virginia Standards for 21st Century Learning include the following components: 21st Century Content Standards and Objectives and 21st Century Learning Skills and Technology Tools. All West Virginia teachers are responsible for classroom instruction that integrates learning skills, technology tools and content standards and objectives. Standard 2: Writing

69

Students will apply writing skills and strategies to communicate effectively for different purposes. They will use the writing process by appropriately applying the organization of ideas, development of main ideas and supporting details, varied sentence structure, word choice and mechanics. Using a variety of print and media sources, students will select, organize and evaluate for research purposes. Standard 3: Listening, Speaking, Media Literacy In the twenty-first century, students will be required to communicate ideas clearly and efficiently. They will need to be able to use information technology proficiently to explore, research and express themselves for a variety of purposes. Applying listening, speaking and media literacy skills and strategies, they will connect with different audiences using media appropriate to the situation.
