5th Grade ELA

December/January Unit 4: Test Sophistication

Month of December/January, 2007/2008 (WK 1)

|Meta-cognitive |December and January (pre ELA test) is a vital time in test preparation. There are numerous test preparation lessons that the city provides. It is important to narrow down the|

|Thinking |extensive list to the lessons that I believe best fit my own students’ needs. I have used assessments and ELA practice tests to target these standards. Also, The writing that |

| |has to be done on the ELA exam is different than the writing that is done in Writer’s Workshop so I want to have multiple opportunities to go over the format of the writing and |

| |how to use the planning page. This unit will help students successfully write answers to ELA test questions by incorporating strategies they have already learned and using |

| |specific formatting that will be taught. This unit enables students to achieve success on the state exam. |
