Track Description
According to teacher made pretests and the School Improvement Plan for our school, students fell well below the national average of 84.7% in Reading. Therefore, this track has been created for my fifth grade Language Arts class of students with average intelligence. Students will be engaged in several activities that will make them a part of the learning process. For example, students will be creating a story flow chart, participate in a discussion with their peers, and create their own book to demonstrate their analysis of the story. The students will develop the reading skills necessary for word recognition, comprehension, interpretation, analyses, evaluation, and appreciation of the written text by completing and taking part in the activities provided by this unit. Also, the profile survey allowed me to realize students need extra opportunities to demonstrate what they know about topics and use the Internet in my class to research topics.
