LANGUAGE ARTS
2.0. READING
COMPREHENSION:Students read and understand grade-level-appropriate material.
They draw upon a
variety of comprehension strategies as needed (e.g., generating and
responding to essential questions, making predictions,
comparing information from several sources). The selections in Recommended
Readings in Literature, Kindergarten
Through Grade Eight illustrate the quality and complexity of the materials to
be read by students. In addition to their regular
school reading, students read one-half million words annually, including a
good representation of grade-level-appropriate
narrative and expository text (e.g., classic and contemporary literature,
magazines, newspapers, online information).
1.0. WRITING STRATEGIES:
Students write clear, coherent sentences and paragraphs that develop a
central idea. Their
writing shows they consider the audience and purpose. Students progress
through the stages of the writing process (e.g.,
prewriting, drafting, revising, editing successive versions).
2.0. WRITING APPLICATIONS
(GENRES AND THEIR CHARACTERISTICS): Students write compositions
that describe and explain familiar objects, events, and experiences. Student
writing demonstrates a command of
standard American English and the drafting, research, and organizational
strategies outlined in Writing Standard
1.0.
Using the writing strategies of
grade four outlined in Writing Standard 1.0, students:
2.3 Write information
reports:
a. Frame a central question
about an issue or situation.
b. Include facts and details
for focus.
c. Draw from more than one
source of information (e.g., speakers, books, newspapers, other media
sources).
1.0. LISTENING AND SPEAKING STRATEGIES:
Students listen and respond critically to oral communication.
They speak in a manner that guides and informs the listener's understanding
of key ideas, using appropriate
phrasing, pitch, and modulation.
2.0. SPEAKING APPLICATIONS
(GENRES AND THEIR CHARACTERISTICS): Students deliver brief
recitations and oral presentations about familiar experiences or interests
that are organized around a coherent
thesis statement. Student speaking demonstrates a command of standard English
and the organization and delivery
strategies outlined in Listening and Speaking Standard 1.
Using the Grade 4 speaking
strategies outlined in Listening and Speaking Standard 1.0, students:
2.2 Make informational
presentations:
a. Frame a key question.
b. Include facts and details
that help listeners to focus.
c. Incorporate more than one
source of information (e.g., speakers, books, newspapers, television or radio
reports).
SOCIAL STUDIES
4.5 Students understand the
structure, functions, and powers of the United States local, state and
federal governments described in the U.S. Constitution, in terms
of:
1.what the U.S. Constitution is
and why it is important (i.e., a written document that defines the structure
and purpose of the U.S. government; describes the shared powers of federal,
state, and local governments).

an Encarta CD, students will be able to compare the distribution of
fossils, rock types and ancient climatic zones on different continents
as evidence for plate tectonics by fitting puzzle pieces marked by these
special features.
- Students will be able to draw a
diagram of the earth's layers.
- After collecting information from
The Earth CD, students will be able to locate earthquakes, volcanoes and
mid ocean ridges as evidence for plate tectonics.

chapter, students will be able to pass a true/false quiz on lithospheric
plates and layers of the earth.
