Important Points in the Lesson Itself

  • To support ELLs, the end of unit assessment in this lesson directly connects to work in Lessons 6-10. Students will use their completed Storyboard graphic organizer to guide their work. Prior to beginning the assessment, during the Opening of the lesson, students will receive formal feedback on their mid-unit assessment. Some comments on the summary writing portion of the mid-unit assessment will aid ELLs as they take on the narrative writing task on the end of unit assessment by focusing their attention on their writing and how it can be improved.
  • ELLs may find it challenging to apply their planning work to the assessment. In advance of the end of unit assessment, encourage ELLs to write a draft of their narrative outside of class as practice. If time allows, provide written or oral feedback to students on their work to aid them in their preparation for the assessment. End by congratulating students on their hard work during the unit, and invite them to celebrate both major and minor progress and improvements.

  • Narrative Writing checklist (one per student; from Unit 2, Lesson 6, Work Time B)
  • Model Narrative: "Peuchen" (one per student; from Module 1, Unit 2, Lesson 6, Work Time A)

Each unit in the 6-8 Language Arts Curriculum has two standards-based assessments built in, one mid-unit assessment and one end of unit assessment. The module concludes with a performance task at the end of Unit 3 to synthesize students' understanding of what they accomplished through supported, standards-based writing.
