5thGrade Embedded Standards

There are a few standards that have not been represented as targeted standards in the scope and sequence. Those embedded standards listed below with the rationale for not being represented. Strand: Speaking and Listening (5.SL) Standards 5.SL.1-3 are part of the daily routine of teaching English Language Arts. Within the ELA curriculum the collaborate icon reminds teachers to engage students in conversations about text using age appropriate skills and responses. ● Standard 5.SL.1: Participate effectively in a range of conversations and collaborations using age-appropriate vocabulary, on topics, texts, and issues. a. Respectfully acknowledge and respond to comments and claims from multiple perspectives and determine if additional information is needed. b. Participate in conversations by asking questions, acknowledging new information, qualifying or justifying responses with reasoning and elaboration, and keeping the discussion on topic. ● Standard 5.SL.2: Investigate information presented in various formats and media in order to make informed decisions and differentiate between fact and fiction. ● Standard 5.SL.3: Use age-appropriate language, grammar, volume, and clear pronunciation when speaking or presenting. a. Present claims and findings, sequencing ideas logically and use relevant descriptions, facts, and details to elaborate on main ideas or themes. Strand: Reading (5.R) Standard 5.R.5 attends to students using text as evidence to answer questions, construct arguments, narrate or explain details in a text. Using the ELA curriculum, students are constantly moving through text daily, citing evidence and inferences with each text set. ● Standard 5.R.5: Identify and refer to evidence from a text when explaining what the text says explicitly and when drawing inferences from the text. (RL & RI) Standards 5.R.8 & 5.R.9, attend to various components of word knowledge and vocabulary. Within the ELA curriculum, vocabulary is explicitly taught and highlighted every day. Therefore, these standards are intertwined throughout daily, weekly and unit over the course of the year. Consistent focus on these standards is essential to build background knowledge and make gains with reading comprehension. ● Standard 5.R.8: Determine the meaning of words, phrases, figurative language, academic and content-specific words, and analyze their effect on meaning within a text. (RL & RI) ● Standard 5.R.9: Determine or clarify the meaning of unknown and multiple-meaning words and phrases, choosing flexibly from a range of strategies. (RL & RI) a. Use context as a clue to the meaning of a word or phrase. b. Use Greek and Latin affixes and roots as clues to the meaning of a word. c. Consult reference materials to find the pronunciation and determine the precise meaning of key words and phrases. Standard 5.R.14 is an ongoing standard with opportunities for demonstration several times within the 10 days of instructional sequence. Opportunities with the shared, read, anchor text, paired read, leveled reader, writing stimulus material, and genre passages have students comparing text often. ● Standard 5.R.14: Compare stories in the same genre on their approaches to similar themes and topics. (RL) Integrate information from several texts on the same topic in order to write or speak about the subject knowledgeably. (RI)
