Riassunto

Paths to College and Career is a new, comprehensive English Language Arts curriculum for grades 6 to 12 built from the ground up over a three-year period to address the Common Core State Standards (CCSS) for English Language Arts and Literacy. It reflects a deep understanding of the standards and assessments, and is written with a focus on the shifts in instructional practice and student experiences the standards require. It includes daily lesson plans, guiding questions, recommended texts, scaffolding strategies, and other classroom resources. Paths to College and Career provides teachers, schools, and districts with a concrete and practical ELA instructional program that engages students with compelling and complex texts. At each grade level, Paths to College and Career delivers a yearlong curriculum that develops all students' ability to * read closely and engage in text-based discussions, * build evidence-based claims and arguments, * conduct research and write from sources, and * expand their academic vocabulary. Paths to College and Career's instructional resources address the needs of all learners, including students with disabilities, English language learners, and gifted and talented. The curriculum is flexible, user friendly, engaging, and purposefully built to prepare students for career, college, and life. In Module 1 of Grade 6, students are involved in a deep study of mythology, its purposes, and elements. Students will read Rick Riordan's The Lightning Thief, a high-interest novel about a sixth-grade boy on a hero's journey, as well as complex informational texts that explain the archetypal storyline of the hero's journey and other elements of myths. As a whole class, students will closely read several complex Greek myths. They then will work in small groups to build expertise on one of those myths. A series of writing lessons will scaffold students to their final performance task in which they will apply their knowledge about the hero's journey and the elements of mythology to create their own hero's journey stories.
