Homework
1 hour per week. Student will review vocabulary, grammar, and reading and writing strategies as directed.Class Experience
US Grade 6 - 9
In each session, tutoring students will do the following: ~read a short excerpt of a text (poetry, novel excerpts, or informational texts) and analyze it by answering higher-level comprehension questions ~answer a writing prompt ~have explicit grammar instruction ~have explicit vocabulary instruction I incorporate plenty of time for the student to talk and ask questions, as I believe this helps them learn and retain information. I differentiate my instruction based on the learning style and needs of the individual student, including social/emotional needs and challenges. I use graphic organizers to help students manage new information and discuss options for individualized note-taking strategies. Or I will gear instruction to the student's specific needs, as some students may only need instruction in one area of English.
Learning Goals
Over time, students will be able to:
~define and identify the 9 parts of speech
~define and identify subject and predicate
~define and identify declarative, interrogative, exclamatory, and imperative sentences
~define and identify simple, compound, complex, and compound-complex sentences
~identify and use basic punctuation marks
~identify the genre of a text
~identity the seven plot elements
~identify and discuss the various elements of character development
~identify tone and mood using citations from the text
~make inferences from the text using correct citations from the text
~identify various literary devices and elements and analyze their impact on the plot and character development
~identify the internal and external conflicts various characters experience
~identify and differentiate between types of conflict: man vs, man/man vs. self/man vs. nature
~write brief summaries of specific passages of the text
~compare and contrast characters in a text and in multiple texts
~identify the narrator's point of view (perspective) first, second, or third person
