This track will draw students into the "Move West." They will learn what is was like to be a pioneer, about the trip west, and some of the important people involved in this event. Students will improve Internet skills, and will increase vocabulary and reading comprehension. The subject is Language Arts, and the grade is fourth grade. The curriculum standard is reading: The student will develop the reading skills necessary for word recognition, comprehension, interpretation, analysis, evaluation, and appreciation of the written text. The Curriculum Standard for Writing is: The student will use, read, and view media/technology and analyze content and concepts accurately. The unit addresses these standards by the student developing reading skills, increasing reading through literature and Internet research. The book, The Barn, which the class has read and tested on, helped to increase vocabulary and comprehension. The venn diagram involved comparing pioneers with people today.

The Fourth Grade students will read the novel, Snow Treasure. We will use the initial track to choose three reading activities.

Nettie's Trip South
Annotations by Susan Phipps
|
Track #32258
Format: Extended learning
|
|
In the Star Reading Assessment, 56% of my 4th grade class was reading below grade level. Standards from Curriculum Frameworks - Language Arts grades 3-5: This unit was designed to improve reading comprehension and vocabulary. It will also improve writing skills, and oral language skills. The Learning Expectations Addressed: Comprehension should be improved with character studies and webbing exercises. Additionally, vocabulary will be increased. The writing practice of narrative stories will enhance student writing. Lastly, students will share their ideas in a debate and drama reenactment. I chose this unit because "My students will use the Internet in my class to research topics" as stated in the teacher Profiler Pre-Survey.
