This document provides information about various types of assessments, close reading strategies, and how to create assessments. It discusses performance tasks, selected response items, and constructed response items. Examples of technology-enhanced items are also given. Guidelines for determining topics, selecting texts, identifying reading strategies, and creating assessments are outlined. Sample close reading lessons modeling strategies like post-it notes and guided reading are shared. Constructed response items should require more analytical thinking while selected response items can assess a large range of content quickly but with limited ability to reveal a student's reasoning.
The document provides guidance on developing language skills, analyzing written language data, and exam techniques. It discusses approaches to note-taking, reading data, and writing analytically for exams. It emphasizes identifying linguistic features, using analytical sentences, and considering contextual factors.
The document discusses effective approaches for vocabulary instruction including selecting tier 2 words from texts, providing student-friendly definitions and examples, having students generate their own examples and sentences using the words, and reinforcing meanings through multiple exposures. It also suggests using mental imagery as a comprehension strategy by having students create mental pictures of word meanings. Formative assessment results found that incorporating mental imagery helped students better remember word definitions.
The document provides lesson plans and reading materials for teaching students about paleontologists and how they help us understand dinosaurs.

This document provides an overview of the topics and activities covered in a fundamentals of reading instruction course on February 2, 2010. It includes announcements about upcoming assignments and events. It reviews an interactive read aloud activity and discusses how literacy develops through emergent literacy experiences beginning at birth. Video examples are shown and discussion group questions are provided about key concepts from the assigned reading like phonemic awareness, inventive spelling, and concrete words. A read aloud of an early literacy book is described and homework is assigned to read an article about alternatives to "letter of the week" instruction.
The document discusses the importance of post-reading activities for emergent readers. It states that post-reading activities enable students to make connections with texts, apply a more global understanding, and integrate information. It provides examples of engaging post-reading activities that develop skills like listening, speaking, reading, writing, and social interaction. These activities aim to extend students' reading experiences and comprehension while involving skills like critical thinking, grammar, themes, and genres. The conclusion emphasizes that post-reading activities are intended to develop students' creative thinking and help them connect new information to prior knowledge.
The document discusses the Question-Answer Relationship (QAR) reading comprehension strategy. It explains that QAR helps students identify what information can be found in the text versus in their own head. QAR then categorizes questions into four types: Right There, Think and Search, Author and You, and On My Own. The document provides examples of how teachers can implement QAR in the classroom, such as teaching students the vocabulary, showing them how the question types work, and having students practice identifying and answering different question types.
This document contains unit plans for English lessons from May 30th to June 9th.

The Letter Name-Alphabetic Group focuses on short vowels and blends. The Within Word Pattern-Middle Group focuses on long vowel patterns and endings. The Within Word Pattern-Late Group focuses on diphthongs, consonant doubling, and e-drop. Daily activities include word sorting, games, writing words and sentences. Assessment includes dictating sentences.
RI.4.3 explains that students should be able to explain events, procedures, ideas, or concepts in a historical, scientific, or technical text. This includes explaining what happened and why, based on specific information found in the text. Students are expected to understand and recount the key details and events from an informational text and explain the reasons behind them using evidence from the text.
This document provides guidance for teachers on assessment approaches in primary education. It discusses formative and summative assessment. Formative assessment includes both activity-based assessment (FA(a)) and content-based assessment (FA(b)). FA(a) allows students to express themselves through activities and is assessed based on teacher observation. FA(b) evaluates cognitive skills through written responses. Summative assessment occurs at the end of a term to evaluate learning. The document provides examples of assessment activities and guidance on skills students should acquire by the end of each term.
This document provides an overview of topics covered in an education course on literacy instruction. It includes announcements about upcoming assignments and conferences. Students are instructed to submit a topic selection and rationale paper by February 16th that identifies a topic related to literacy instruction, explains its importance, and includes 2-5 relevant references. The document also previews upcoming lessons on word study, including assessing students' spelling abilities, using word sorts to group words and identify patterns, and relating words to authentic reading experiences. Read-alouds are suggested to tie in examples of word patterns.
This document contains a lesson plan for teaching intercultural learning using modals of advice. The 90 minute lesson plan is divided into phases including an icebreaker, extending the theme through grammar explanation and exercises, personalization through problem solving in pairs, focusing on grammar, transferring knowledge to a controlled exercise, and concluding with a whole class activity. The document also includes a sample weekly timetable allocating times and content areas for 4 teaching sessions over 5 days.
The document provides a time table for a two week English teaching course focusing on teaching English through songs. Week 1 focuses on pronunciation, vocabulary, and intonation patterns. It also covers listening skills and materials. Week 2 focuses on different reading techniques and comprehension strategies like predicting content, scanning for details, and identifying patterns in texts. The time table outlines daily activities and topics to be covered from 9am to 2:30pm across the two weeks.
The document summarizes analyses of three English language course books for teaching young children: Bounce for Kids, Smiles, and Spaghetti. It evaluates each book based on 13 criteria such as how well they fit the students' backgrounds, what values and methodologies they promote, how new language is introduced and practiced, and whether activities encourage meaningful interaction. Overall, the analyses found that while the books aim to be communicative, they lack sufficient practice activities and don't fully achieve a balance between accuracy and fluency.
This document contains a lesson plan and timetable for teaching intercultural learning and another topic. The lesson plan includes icebreakers, vocabulary activities, grammar exercises, and speaking practice. It is designed to be taught over two weeks with classes meeting daily. The timetable schedules the plan across each day, allocating time for different activities and focusing on topics like injuries, health problems, and giving advice. It aims to improve students' language skills while teaching intercultural communication.
