Description
Summary:Developed by the Washington Office of the Superintendent of Public Instruction and written by classroom teachers, this document provides guidelines for a kindergarten through grade 12 English/language arts curriculum. Following a discussion on the philosophy and implementation of an English/language arts curriculum, the guide presents sections on three different aspects of language arts--modes (listening, reading, speaking, and writing), content (language and literature), and functions (imagining, feeling, informing, controlling, and ritualizing). For each section, a brief discussion of the section's topic is followed by a list of goals for the discipline. Preceding the learner outcome pages for grades K-3, 4-6, 7-9, and 10-12, an annotated learner outcome page explains the format of the section, listing the focus, learner outcome (goal), grade level, instructional implications, integrated activity sample, and instructional resources for each aspect of the curriculum. Appendixes include: (1) an annotated bibliography on six language arts categories (research and theory; cognitive foundations/language acquisition; teaching strategies, issues, and texts; integrating the language arts; writing across the curriculum; and curriculum development/inservice); (2) a taxonomy of cognitive and affective dimensions of listening and reading; (3) definitions of language arts terms; and (4) suggested novel reading lists.
