ILC ELA 5: Module 4 Additional Language and Literacy (ALL) Block

This module supports the concepts taught in ILC ELA 5: Module 4 The Impact of Natural Disasters. In this Module, students will explore the following concepts: Fluency/Grammar, Usage, and Mechanics (GUM): Students will choose their own fluency text, set fluency goals and work on their reading fluency to support deeper comprehension of grade-level texts. Students will work more deeply with the evidence and complex vocabulary in “How Well Is Your Community Prepared?” Writing Fluency: Students will practice writing fluently in response to writing prompts. Students will analyze academic vocabulary words using Frayer Models and practice adding or changing affixes to make new words. Students will also practice using common homographs. At the end of unit 3, students will reflect on their writing growth throughout the year by responding in writing to a series of prompts. Speaking and Listening: Students will summarize and reflect on their favorite free-choice and research texts to complete summary posters. Students will then participate in a Poster Session to share with their classmates and collect ideas for summer reading. Students will read aloud their favorite passages from any text. Students will participate by sharing some of their favorite texts. Note: The ALL Bock module is an integral part of the program to ensure all standards are addressed; therefore, it should be downloaded with the corresponding content module.
