1 MS ENGLISH LANGUAGE ARTS I Esperanza Cyber Charter School Middle School Language Arts ELA I in middle school focuses on literature that helps students foster selfidentity by answering the question, Who Am I? 1
2 Middle School: English Language Arts I Students will write varying forms of narrative, persuasive, and information pieces that allow them to access, interpret, and internalize the essential question: Who Am I? They will read a variety of text types and genres in larger and smaller groups as well as independently that lead them to critical analysis and personal reflection. They will gain skills for reading independently and using texts and writing in a variety of formats and authentic performance tasks that touch on history, art, science, and math. Students will exercise personal choice and inventive imagination in their performance tasks and will be guided through learning in a scaffold process where the teacher models the task, gives plenty of examples, and works with the students in guided practice before students work independently. Students will also collaborate with one another in literature circles, online blogs, and class discussions to create deeper understandings of texts. Students will use a breadth of technology to collaborate and create during their learning experience. Essential Question: Who am I? Who do I want to be? Units in Course A: MS_EnglishLanguageArtsI 1: Identity of Self and Community (9 weeks) 2: Identity of the Hero Within (9 weeks) Units in Course B: MS_EnglishLanguageArtsI 1 Identity Formation through Words and Voice (6 weeks) 2: Identity Construction under Peer Pressure (6 weeks) 3: Identity Shaped through Adversity (6 weeks) 2

The reader texts are available at: SRA Reading Labs (online) or visit your local library Choose from the following themes: Quarter 1 Student Choice Fiction Quarter 2 Hispanic Author Quarter 3 African American or Woman Author Quarter 4 Memoir, Autobiography, Biography, or Non-Fiction At the end of each quarter students are required to complete a Text-Dependent Analysis essay based on one of the books they read. These assignments must be turned in two weeks before the end of the quarter. Prompt 1: Setting. Every story has a setting, and every setting affects the characters, plot, and theme of a story. Show how a character(s) of your book are affected or changed by their setting. How does he/she act differently in his/her environment? What does he/she learn about himself/herself because of the setting? Prompt 2: Character Analysis. Every story has a protagonist, the hero of the story. Show how the protagonist of your story changes. How does the author paint a picture of this character? What conflict(s) does this character face? How does he/she resolve them? Prompt 3: Theme. A story can have one or many themes; these are lessons you learn and apply to your life. Identify a theme in your book and explain what the author s position is on this theme. What does the author seem to be saying about this particular theme? What does he want the reader to consider about this theme? Prompt 4: Symbol. Most stories have objects or acts/events that are symbolic in nature. Identify one-three symbols in your story. Explain why they are symbolic. What special symbolic value do they have for a character? How does this symbol advance the plot or help a character change / learn something during the course of the book? 5
6 ACED Writing Guide To stay consistent across the 6-8 curriculums at Esperanza Middle School, teachers are asked to use the ACED method of writing to teach students about paragraph writing. ACED can be used for as short as one paragraph answers to as long as a five or more paragraph paper. ANSWER - Introduction Begin by answering the question being asked of you by restating the question in the answer. Include the hook, context, and thesis. CITE ** Begin with a transition word or phrase. Use a specific quote from the text you are using or an example to support your answer. If you are not using a text, provide a real-life example that supports your opinion. For each sentence that cites, you must immediately follow it with two sentences that further EXPLAIN or give EXAMPLES of what you have cited. (See below for the description of Explain! ) If you use a quote, make sure you put it in quotations and state where the quote came from (for example: the part in the story it was from, the character that said it, the author that wrote it, etc.) -Teachers should also go over how to write in text citations. EXPLAIN ** After the citation, you must explain how it (the citation you just gave) proves your answer. Your explanation must be a minimum of two sentences long (and they cannot be short and simple). Take time to thoroughly tell how that citation supports your answer to the question. DONE-Conclusion Begin with a transition word! Add a concluding sentence to summarize your essay. Re-state your answer in a different way (aka, restate the thesis). Go back through your paragraph and make sure that you have used TRANSITIONS before each C and the D. Connect the conclusion to the text and to the reader. Go back and proofread your writing for grammar, spelling and punctuation errors! Now you are done! You have A*C*E*D your assignment. **REPEAT C AND E FOR EVERY EXAMPLE YOU ARE ASKED TO GIVE! If you were asked to give two examples, your format would be: A C E C E D If you were asked to give three examples, your format would be: A C E C E C E D If you were given multiple paragraphs, for example a 5 paragraph essay: 6
