The document outlines four roles of literate learners: 1. Code breaker - Understanding the relationship between written symbols and sounds and the structural conventions of texts. 2. Meaning maker - Drawing on their own experiences and prior knowledge to comprehend written, spoken, and visual texts. 3. Text user - Understanding that different texts have different purposes that shape how they are structured and formed. 4. Text analyst - Being aware that texts are crafted to represent certain views and influence perceptions, and can empower or disempower groups.

making inference
An inference is a conclusion drawn from evidence and reasoning rather than being directly stated. It allows readers to make assumptions and draw conclusions from implied clues. For example, if someone hears a bang and crying from upstairs where their toddler is in bed, they can infer the toddler fell out of bed, or if someone hears their mailbox close and their dog barking, they can infer the mail carrier delivered their mail. Inferences require readers to think for themselves rather than being directly told.
Point of View- an Elementary Overview of 1st and 3rd Person
A short introduction to identifying 1st and 3rd person point of view in stories. Students will be able to identify clues to help them determine which point of view the story is being told from.

This document defines and provides examples of different types of hooks that can be used at the beginning of an introductory paragraph, including a definition, example, quick exchange, interesting fact, quote, and overstated statement. It notes that the hook must relate to the essay topic and smoothly lead into the topic statement. An example is provided of using a statistic as a hook that directly leads into stating what the essay will be about.
Genre lesson
The document defines genres and subgenres of writing. The 5 main genres are nonfiction, fiction, folklore, drama, and poetry. Nonfiction includes persuasive writing, informational writing, autobiography, and biography. Fiction includes historical fiction, science fiction, realistic fiction, and fantasy. Folklore includes myth, legend, tall tale, fairy tale, and fable. Drama includes comedy and tragedy. Examples and definitions of each subgenre are provided.
Summarizing nonfictionpowerpoint
The document discusses how to write a summary of nonfiction text. It explains that a good summary is a shortened version of the original text that includes the key ideas but leaves out minor details. It provides four rules for writing a strong summary: include important ideas, use your own words, remove trivial details and repetition, and maintain the original structure. The document uses examples to illustrate how to identify important versus minor ideas and how to paraphrase the text in a summary.
Genres in non-fiction
This document discusses several genres of nonfiction including informational/reference works like encyclopedias and dictionaries, biographies about real people's lives, autobiographies written by authors about themselves, adventure stories of interesting places and journeys, and mysteries involving true crimes or puzzling events. It notes that nonfiction works often use organizational elements like titles, headings, bold or italicized words, diagrams, photos, tables of contents and indexes to present factual information on various topics.
Who You Gonna Call?
The document explains what a call number is and how it helps locate books in the library. A call number provides the address of where a book is shelved and consists of the Dewey Decimal classification number and author's last name initials. The first part of the call number indicates whether a book is fiction or non-fiction, while the second part represents the author. Call numbers allow books to be arranged systematically on shelves by subject and author for easy finding. The document demonstrates how to use a call number to search for a specific book on Bigfoot in the non-fiction section.
Tone in Poetry
The author clearly enjoys and appreciates hockey based on the tone and language used in the poem "There's This that I like About Hockey, My Lad". The poem depicts hockey as a clattering, battering sport where players maul and maim each other, yet the author finds it a rollicking game with good fun to be had. By addressing the reader as "my lad", "my boy", and "old chap", the author speaks in a cheerful, enthusiastic tone that conveys his positive attitude towards the sport. This tone would likely change the meaning and interpretation of the poem for readers if it was written in a negative or indifferent manner instead.
Alliteration-powerpoint.ppt
Alliteration is a stylistic device where words in a series begin with the same consonant sound. It can add humor and expression to writing, though it may not deepen meaning. Alliteration makes words more engaging and entertaining, helping audiences pay attention and remember. While not essential to depth, alliteration livens up language with creative phrasing. It is commonly found in sayings, poetry and brand slogans where memorability is key. Spotting and crafting alliterative phrases develops understanding and expressive use of the technique.

Reading support
The document discusses scaffolding literacy instruction for English language learners. Scaffolding involves providing resources to help students engage with classroom language and texts, and guides them toward independent language use. It is not focused solely on language games or explicit skills instruction. Scaffolding is necessary because teaching involves initiating students into new practices through modeling, guided practice, and scaffolded activities to help students recognize patterns in content and learning. Key scaffolds include pre-teaching vocabulary before shared reading.
Assessing reading
The document discusses reading and its importance in second language acquisition. It defines reading as a process of decoding, interpreting, and understanding text through negotiation between the reader and writer. Reading provides exposure to the target language and opens up new worlds through bringing prior knowledge and cognitive development. The document also lists different genres of text and characteristics of efficient readers, including identifying the text purpose and applying appropriate reading strategies. Finally, it discusses four types of reading assessments: perceptive, selective, interactive, and extensive.
Lesson Plan: Deconstructing Utopia and The Once and Future King
Dear Reader,
Enjoy my lesson plan. I designed it to teach 9th grade students about utopia and dystopia by looking at The Once and Future King. We will deconstruct the idea of a utopia, or perfect world/society, by using textual evidence to complicate the idea of Camelot as a utopia. Students will discuss the effectiveness of Arthur’s Right-over-Might policy, what some of the consequences were for establishing this rule, and how the society was ultimately destroyed. Students will also write a character journal in which they write their character’s opinion of Arthur’s policy, using the text as a source. Students will also discuss author intent as well as relate utopian concepts to modern societies and ways of thinking. I put a lot of work into this lesson plan. It meets many NCSOS requirements for English I dealing with reading and responding to texts, as well as studying and making arguments based on textual evidence.
Thanks,
Eric Gal
Sk curriculum my writing
Students engage in writing as a process that involves pre-writing, drafting, revising, and finalizing. During pre-writing, students generate ideas and develop initial plans by considering purpose, audience, point of view, and format. In drafting, students focus on content over mechanics as they compose rough versions. Through revising, students refine their writing by reorganizing ideas, adding or removing content, and providing feedback to peers. Finally, students produce polished drafts and decide whether to share or publish their work. The writing process is recursive, and teachers support students by modeling strategies, creating a collaborative environment, and maintaining resources to facilitate writing development.

From text as pretext to developing effective reading skills braz-tesol brasilia
The document discusses reading comprehension and strategies for developing reading skills. It defines key concepts like text, genre, text type, and top-down and bottom-up comprehension processing. It also outlines strategies that successful readers use, such as activating prior knowledge, asking questions, visualizing, and monitoring comprehension. The document recommends that teachers implement pre-reading, while-reading, and post-reading activities to help students become better readers and develop reading strategies. These activities include predicting, questioning, note-taking, and discussing texts.
Literalreadingcomprehensioncourse 140816151834-phpapp02
This document outlines the objectives and competencies of a literal reading comprehension course. The objectives are to identify main ideas and new vocabulary in texts, translate texts while maintaining the main idea, and understand how ideas, paragraphs and sentences relate within a text. The competencies are to recognize how language is used in different social and cultural contexts, and apply linguistic knowledge to comprehend grammatical, textual, and meaning aspects of language.
reading
The document discusses reading as a complex cognitive process involving decoding symbols to derive meaning. It is presented as a means of language acquisition, communication, and sharing information and ideas. The reading process is described as involving interaction between the text, reader, and purpose, shaped by the reader's cultural context. Key stages are outlined as pre-reading, reading, and post-reading, which include activities like activating background knowledge and making predictions. Suggestions are made for engaging students in the reading process and applying what they've read. Benefits of reading are listed before strategies are presented for developing reading comprehension awareness.
English outcomes and asessment
The document outlines four learning outcomes for developing language skills:
1) Listening and speaking for a variety of purposes including conversations, presentations, interviews, and group discussions.
2) Reading and viewing texts critically to understand meaning, messages, and how language shapes attitudes.
3) Writing for different purposes and audiences using appropriate formats and conventions.
4) Using language structures correctly and understanding how language influences others. Assessment standards are provided to evaluate progress for each learning outcome.
The purpose of writing
Writing is a complex cognitive process that requires planning, drafting, editing, and revising. It differs from speaking in several key ways. Writing is not spontaneous and allows time for reflection before producing language. It also transcends time and space as the reader does not need to be present, and writers can consider a broader audience. Additionally, writing follows certain organizational structures and has fewer linguistic signs than speaking. The writing process is nonlinear and iterative, as writers refine their ideas over several drafts before reaching the final version.
Writing support
The document discusses different levels of writing ability for refugee students learning English. It outlines goals for students at each level related to mechanics, grammar, revision, and text types. It then describes levels of communication ability, language structures and features, and strategies students can use at different stages of writing development. The levels progress from basic symbols and copying, to writing various texts with cohesion and control over organizational features.
Hypertext Reading
This document discusses factors that affect how readers, especially those learning English as a second language, comprehend hypertext documents. It explores how reader characteristics like language proficiency and topic familiarity interact with text characteristics like linear structure and available reading aids to influence comprehension. The research aims to identify which text factors can disrupt or support comprehension for ESL readers and whether hypertexts can promote deep understanding in those with lower language abilities or background knowledge. Specifically, it examines the roles of reader and text variables in determining different levels of comprehension from hypertexts.

Moses
This document provides background information on Moses and the story of Exodus from the Bible. It discusses who Moses was, including being raised in Egypt but born to Hebrew parents. It also summarizes the key events of Exodus such as the 10 plagues, Israelites being freed from slavery, and wandering in the desert for 40 years. However, it notes that some details are not likely historical facts, such as the parting of the Red Sea which was more likely a marsh that trapped Egyptian chariots. The overall message is that the religious truths of God's love for his people and leading them to freedom are more important than the specific factual details. Students are assigned to read more on Moses and answer accompanying questions.
Who is Jesus?
This document provides an introduction to a unit on Christology by asking a series of questions about Jesus to test the reader's knowledge.

Fact Sheet - Government of Canada
The Canadian Guidelines for Body Weight Classification in Adults uses body mass index (BMI) and waist circumference to classify health risk. BMI is calculated from weight and height, while waist circumference indicates excess abdominal fat. The guidelines classify individuals as underweight, normal weight, overweight, or obese based on their BMI and waist measurements. A higher BMI or waist circumference is associated with greater health risks such as diabetes, heart disease, and some cancers. The classification system provides health professionals with a tool for assessing risk but should consider other individual factors.

Reflection
While some feel nervous about confession, confessing sins directly to God at home is not an option according to Catholic teaching. Confession to a priest is a sacrament instituted by Christ to obtain forgiveness for sins committed after baptism, and regular confession helps the penitent to examine their conscience and avoid sin in the future through the guidance of a priest and God's grace.
Hope
Saint Clare was an Italian noblewoman who was the first female follower of Saint Francis of Assisi. She founded the Poor Clare order of nuns and gave away her wealth to live in poverty and own nothing, trusting God to provide for her needs. When an attacking army approached her sick monastery, Saint Clare carried the Blessed Sacrament to the walls and prayed to Jesus for protection, causing the army to flee.

Padre Pio was a Capuchin priest known for his great faith in God. He received the stigmata and had gifts like prophecy, conversion, and miraculous cures through prayer. His works helped convert many people and build a hospital. However, he suffered greatly from the stigmata wounds and spiritual attacks by the devil. Despite this, he persevered in his love and faith in God as a model of faith.
Charity
1) After converting to Christianity at age 25, St. Francis of Assisi heard Jesus tell him to "rebuild my church, for it is falling to ruin" while praying in the ruined church of San Damiano.
2) Thinking this meant the physical church, St. Francis began repairing it by taking fabric from his father's shop to sell, angering his father.
