Standard 2: Reading and Writing Process

Students will use a variety of recursive reading and writing processes.
|
WRITING: Students will develop and strengthen writing by engaging in a recursive process that includes prewriting, drafting, revising, editing, and publishing. |
3.2.W.1 Students will develop drafts by categorizing ideas and organizing them into paragraphs using correct paragraph indentations. |

-
The genre students are writing will determine how students should plan their writing pieces.
-
Example: If students are working on information or opinion pieces, they should state a detail or argument in the topic sentence and use the rest of the paragraph explaining the detail or argument.
-
Example: In narrative writing, students can use events in their story to organize their piece into first, next, then, and last.
-
Graphic organizers can be helpful when learning how to write paragraphs.

-

-
Students should learn that paragraphs are about one topic. If students have drafted a piece that is not organized into paragraphs, they can read through their draft and mark places where they change topics or scenes. After marking these spots, they should circle the chunks of text that will be paragraphs in their next draft.
-
Indenting means to set in or back from the margin, as the first line of a paragraph.
-
The purpose of indention is signaling to readers that a new paragraph is starting.
-
This tells readers that the topic is changing, or they are reading onto the next event in a story.
|
Due to recursive nature of the standards, it is essential that teachers are aware of how all objectives within and between strands work together for optimal instruction.
