“WE DO” Shared Teacher -Student Demonstration “WE DO” Guided Student Practice
Close Reading emphasizes engaging with a text of sufficient complexity directly and examining meaning thoroughly and methodically,
encouraging students to read and reread deliberately. Directing student attention on the text itself empowers students to understand the central ideas and key supporting details. It also enables students to reflect on the meanings of individual words and sentences; the order in which sentences unfold; and the development of ideas over the course of the text, which ultimately leads students to arrive at an understanding of the text as a whole. (PARCC, 2011, p. 7)

The following recommended differentiated Formative Assessment Strategies are based on the WA English Language Proficiency (ELP) Standards with Correspondences to K-12 Practices and Common Core State Standards for ELA. The level 1-5 descriptors, below, describe targets for ELL performance by the end of each ELP level at a particular point in time. However, students may demonstrate a range of abilities within each ELP level. By describing the end of each ELP level for ELP standard, the levels 1-5 descriptors reflect a linear progression across the proficiency level of an aligned set of knowledge, skills, and abilities. *Note: The new ELP descriptors correspond to current WELPA levels as follows:

a. Activate prior knowledge related to the information and events in texts.
b. Confirm predictions about what will happen next in text.
Unpacking: What does this standard mean that a student will know and be able to do? With assistance, students are required to read prose and poetry at the text complexity for grade 1. Prose is writing that is not poetry. “The Reading standards place equal emphasis on the sophistication of what students read and the skill with which they read. Standard 10 defines a grade-by-grade ‘staircase’ of increasing text complexity that rises from beginning reading to the college and career readiness level. Whatever they are reading, students must also show a steadily growing ability to discern more from and make fuller use of text including making an increasing number of connections among ideas and between texts, considering a wider range of textual evidence, and becoming more sensitive to inconsistencies, ambiguities, and poor reasoning in texts.” “Students also acquire the habits of reading independently and closely, which are essential to their future success.” Students should encounter appropriately complex texts at each grade level in order to develop the mature language skills and the conceptual knowledge needed for success in school and life. Effective scaffolding should allow the reader to encounter the text with minimal clarifications. It should not replace the text by translating its contents for students.

College and Career Readiness Anchor Standards for Writing 1. Write arguments to support claims in an analysis of substantive topics or texts, using valid reasoning and relevant and sufficient evidence.
2. Write informative/explanatory texts to examine and convey complex ideas and information clearly and accurately through the effective selection, organization, and analysis of content. 3. Write narratives to develop real or imagined experiences or events using effective technique, well-chosen details, and well-structured event sequences.
Q1 Q2 Q3 Q4 Common Core Standard—Writing: Text Types and Purposes
W 1.1 Write opinion pieces in which they introduce the topic or name the book they are writing about, state an opinion,
supply a reason for the opinion, and provide some sense of closure.
W 1.2 Write informative/explanatory texts in which they name a topic, supply some facts about the topic, and provide some
sense of closure.
W 1.3 Write narratives in which they recount two or more appropriately sequenced events, include some details regarding what happened, use temporal words to signal event order, and provide some sense of closure
Unpacking: What does this standard mean that a student will know and be able to do? First grade students should be able to express their opinion and demonstrate the ability to share their opinion with others. In first grade, students write opinion pieces that clearly state their preferences and supply a reason for their thinking. In doing so, students need multiple opportunities to express opinions and develop writing behaviors. Students need to engage in behaviors (turn and talk, small group discussion, and emergent writing and speaking learning centers) that lead to the expression of ideas both verbally and in writing: Students will also need a purposeful focus on choice-making throughout ELA.
• For example, in this grade students are expected to be able to select a reason that supports their opinion and be able to share their thinking.
First grade students are required to include both an introduction and a sense of closure or a closing statement in their writing. Students will need to build
strategies for introducing concepts (such as beginning with a fact or question) and concluding their thoughts (learning to write a summary statement) when
writing. They will begin to use temporal words (now, when, then) to show order of events.

With assistance from adults and peers, students should focus their writing on a topic and be able to respond to questions and suggestions. In order to do so, students need to understand how to add descriptive words to their writing to strengthen their piece. They also need to develop the ability to recognize spelling, grammar, and punctuation errors and have strategies for correcting these errors with assistance (during conferences and peer editing). With assistance, students will use digital tools to publish their writing independently and in collaboration with peers (use of keyboarding and technology). At this grade level, students will need to be able to “log on” to programs, computer stations, and hand-held devises to engage with digital media.

Unpacking: What does this standard mean that a student will know and be able to do?
Students in grade one will engage in conversations about grade-appropriate topics and texts. In order to do so, students will need ample opportunities to
take part in a variety of rich, structured conversations. Students actively engage as part of a whole class, in small groups, and with a partner, sharing the
roles of participant, leader, and observe. Students at this level should engage in collaborative conversations (such as book groups, literature circles,
buddy reading), and develop skills in active (close) listening and group discussion (looking at the speaker, turn taking, linking ideas to the speakers’ idea,
sharing the floor, etc). First grade students will also ask and answer questions about key details of a text read aloud or information presented in multiple
formats.
First grade students should also be able to listen carefully to a text read aloud and to recount or describe details about what they heard. Students need to
ask questions and understand and answer questions asked of them in order to clarify or gain more information.

X SL 1.5 Add drawings or other visual displays to descriptions when appropriate to clarify ideas, thoughts, and feelings.
X SL 1.6 Produce complete sentences when appropriate to task and situation.
Unpacking: What does this standard mean that a student will know and be able to do? First grade students should be able to report facts and relevant details about an experience. This should be done orally, with some detail, and with clarity of thought and emotions. They should be able to add visual displays to illuminate chosen facts or details. In order to do so, students will need multiple opportunities to present information to others and develop behaviors that will lead to the ability to add appropriate visual displays. Students will need to engage in behaviors (turn and talk, small group discussion, and listening and speaking learning centers) that lead to the expression of complete ideas both verbally and in writing. Students will also need a purposeful focus throughout ELA on choice-making.
• For example, first grade students need to be able to choose visual displays that add to and support their thinking about a topic. Students must be able to articulate their ideas in complete sentences when appropriate to the audience.

Conventions of Standard English Applies Conventions of Standard English Grammar and Punctuation
College and Career Readiness Anchor Standards for Language 1. Demonstrate command of the conventions of Standard English grammar and usage when writing or speaking.
Q1 Q2 Q3 Q4 Common Core Standard—Language: Conventions of Standard English grammar & usage.
X X X L 1.1 Demonstrate command of the conventions of standard English grammar and usage when writing or speaking.
a. Print all upper- and lowercase letters.
b. Use common, proper, and possessive nouns.
c. Use singular and plural nouns with matching verbs in basic sentences (e.g., He hops; We hop).
d. Use personal, possessive, and indefinite pronouns (e.g., I, me, my; they, them, their, anyone, everything).
e. Use verbs to convey a sense of past, present, and future (e.g., Yesterday I walked home; Today I walk home; Tomorrow I will walk home).
f. Use frequently occurring adjectives.
X X X g. Use frequently occurring conjunctions (e.g., and, but, or, so, because).
h. Use determiners (e.g., articles, demonstratives).
i. Use frequently occurring prepositions (e.g., during, beyond, toward).
j. Produce and expand complete simple and compound declarative, interrogative, imperative, and exclamatory sentences
in response to prompts.
Unpacking: What does this standard mean that a student will know and be able to do? An understanding of language is essential for effective communication. “The inclusion of Language standards in their own strand should not be taken as an indication that skills related to conventions, knowledge of language, and vocabulary are unimportant to reading, writing, speaking, listening, and viewing; indeed, they are inseparable from such contexts.”
First grade students must have a command of the grammar and usage of spoken and written standard English. Standards that are related to conventions are appropriate to formal spoken English as they are to formal written English.
At this level, emphasis expands to include verb tense, possessives, pronouns, adjectives, conjunctions, and more complex sentences. With conventions, students are becoming more adept at ending punctuation, expanding their understanding and usage of capitalization, and spelling unknown words phonetically.

5. Demonstrate understanding of word relationships and nuances in word meanings. 6. Acquire and use accurately a range of general academic and domain-specific words and phrases sufficient for reading, writing, speaking, and listening at the college and
career readiness level; demonstrate independence in gathering vocabulary knowledge when encountering an unknown term important to comprehension or expression.
Q1 Q2 Q3 Q4 Common Core Standard—Language: Vocabulary Acquisition and Use
L 1.4 Determine or clarify the meaning of unknown and multiple-meaning words and phrases based on grade 1 reading and
content, choosing flexibly from an array of strategies.
a. Use sentence-level context as a clue to the meaning of a word or phrase.
b. Use frequently occurring affixes as a clue to the meaning of a word.
c. Identify frequently occurring root words (e.g., look) and their inflectional forms (e.g., looks, looked, looking).
L 1.5 With guidance and support from adults, demonstrate understanding of word relationships and nuances in word meanings.
a. Sort words into categories (e.g., colors, clothing) to gain a sense of the concepts the categories represent.
b. Define words by category and by one or more key attributes (e.g., a duck is a bird that swims; a tiger is a large cat with stripes).
c. Identify real-life connections between words and their use (e.g., note places at home that are cozy).
d. Distinguish shades of meaning among verbs differing in manner (e.g., look, peek, glance, stare, glare, scowl) and adjectives
differing in intensity (e.g., large, gigantic) by defining or choosing them or by acting out the meanings.
L 1.5 Use words and phrases acquired through conversations, reading and being read to, and responding to texts.
L 1.6 Use words and phrases acquired through conversations, reading and being read to, and responding to texts, including using frequently occurring conjunctions to signal simple relationships (e.g., because).
Unpacking: What does this standard mean that a student will know and be able to do? As students at this level focus on word acquisition and use, the intent of the CCSS is to introduce grammatical knowledge in basic ways that will be relearned in more sophisticated contexts in the upper grades.
The overall focus of language learning in regards to vocabulary acquisition is to guide students as they make purposeful language choices in writing and speaking in order to communicate effectively in a wide range of print and digital texts. Students need to understand the diversity in standard English and the ways authors use formal and informal voice (dialects, registers) to craft their message for specific purposes. Students also need strategies for learning to make these kinds of choices for themselves as they write and speak in different contexts and for different purposes.
Learning words at this stage includes exploring different shades of the same verb (run/sprint) inflections, common concepts/objects, words with multiple meanings, opposites, and how words are used in “real-life.”
