Course Standards

Name Description
ELA.3.C.1.4: Write expository texts about a topic, using one or more sources, providing an introduction, facts and details, some elaboration, transitions, and a conclusion.
Clarifications:
Clarification 1: See Writing Types and Elaborative Techniques.
ELA.3.C.2.1: Present information orally, in a logical sequence, using nonverbal cues, appropriate volume, and clear pronunciation.
Clarifications:
Clarification 1: Nonverbal cues appropriate to this grade level are posture, tone, and expressive delivery. Clear pronunciation should be interpreted to mean an understanding and application of phonics rules and sight words as well as care taken in delivery. A student’s speech impediment should not be considered as impeding clear pronunciation. This grade level introduces an expectation that the information be presented in a logical sequence. A student may self-correct an error in sequence.

Clarification 2: For further guidance, see the Elementary Oral Communication Rubric.

ELA.3.C.4.1: Conduct research to answer a question, organizing information about the topic from multiple sources.
Clarifications:
Clarification 1: While the benchmark does require that students consult multiple sources, there is no requirement that they use every source they consult. Part of the skill in researching is discernment—being able to tell which information is relevant and which sources are trustworthy enough to include.
ELA.3.C.5.1: Use two or more multimedia elements to enhance oral or written tasks.
Clarifications:
Clarification 1: Multimedia elements may include, but are not limited to, drawings, pictures, artifacts, and audio or digital representation. At this grade level, the elements should relate directly to the presentation. The elements can reinforce or complement the information being shared. There is no expectation that the elements be fully integrated into the presentation.
ELA.3.C.5.2: Use digital writing tools individually or collaboratively to plan, draft, and revise writing.
ELA.3.R.1.1: Explain how one or more characters develop throughout the plot in a literary text.
Clarifications:
Clarification 1: When explaining character development, students will include character traits, feelings, motivations, and responses to situations.
ELA.3.R.1.2: Explain a theme and how it develops, using details, in a literary text.
ELA.3.R.1.3: Explain different characters’ perspectives in a literary text.
Clarifications:
Clarification 1: The term perspective means “a particular attitude toward or way of regarding something.” The term point of view is used when referring to the person of the narrator. This is to prevent confusion and conflation.
ELA.3.R.2.1: Explain how text features contribute to meaning and identify the text structures of chronology, comparison, and cause/effect in texts.
ELA.3.R.2.2: Identify the central idea and explain how relevant details support that idea in a text.
ELA.3.R.3.2: Summarize a text to enhance comprehension.
  1. Include plot and theme for a literary text.
  2. Use the central idea and relevant details for an informational text.
    Clarifications:
    Clarification 1: Most grade-level texts are appropriate for this benchmark.
    ELA.3.R.3.3: Compare and contrast how two authors present information on the same topic or theme.
    ELA.3.V.1.3: Use context clues, figurative language, word relationships, reference materials, and/or background knowledge to determine the meaning of multiple-meaning and unknown words and phrases, appropriate to grade level.
    Clarifications:
    Clarification 1: Instruction for this benchmark should include text read-alouds and think-alouds aimed at building and activating background knowledge. Review of words learned in this way is critical to building background knowledge and related vocabulary. Texts read aloud can be two grade levels higher than student reading level. 
    Clarification 2: See Context Clues and Word Relationships.

    Clarification 3: See ELA.3.R.3.1 and Elementary Figurative Language.

    ELA.K12.EE.1.1: Cite evidence to explain and justify reasoning.
    Clarifications:
    K-1 Students include textual evidence in their oral communication with guidance and support from adults. The evidence can consist of details from the text without naming the text. During 1st grade, students learn how to incorporate the evidence in their writing.

    2-3 Students include relevant textual evidence in their written and oral communication. Students should name the text when they refer to it. In 3rd grade, students should use a combination of direct and indirect citations.

    4-5 Students continue with previous skills and reference comments made by speakers and peers. Students cite texts that they’ve directly quoted, paraphrased, or used for information. When writing, students will use the form of citation dictated by the instructor or the style guide referenced by the instructor. 

    6-8 Students continue with previous skills and use a style guide to create a proper citation.

    9-12 Students continue with previous skills and should be aware of existing style guides and the ways in which they differ.

    ELA.K12.EE.2.1: Read and comprehend grade-level complex texts proficiently.
    Clarifications:
    See Text Complexity for grade-level complexity bands and a text complexity rubric.
    ELA.K12.EE.3.1: Make inferences to support comprehension.
    Clarifications:
    Students will make inferences before the words infer or inference are introduced. Kindergarten students will answer questions like “Why is the girl smiling?” or make predictions about what will happen based on the title page. Students will use the terms and apply them in 2nd grade and beyond.
    ELA.K12.EE.4.1: Use appropriate collaborative techniques and active listening skills when engaging in discussions in a variety of situations.
    Clarifications:
    In kindergarten, students learn to listen to one another respectfully.

    In grades 1-2, students build upon these skills by justifying what they are thinking. For example: “I think ________ because _______.” The collaborative conversations are becoming academic conversations.

    In grades 3-12, students engage in academic conversations discussing claims and justifying their reasoning, refining and applying skills. Students build on ideas, propel the conversation, and support claims and counterclaims with evidence.

    ELA.K12.EE.5.1: Use the accepted rules governing a specific format to create quality work.
    Clarifications:
    Students will incorporate skills learned into work products to produce quality work. For students to incorporate these skills appropriately, they must receive instruction. A 3rd grade student creating a poster board display must have instruction in how to effectively present information to do quality work.
    ELA.K12.EE.6.1: Use appropriate voice and tone when speaking or writing.
    Clarifications:
    In kindergarten and 1st grade, students learn the difference between formal and informal language. For example, the way we talk to our friends differs from the way we speak to adults. In 2nd grade and beyond, students practice appropriate social and academic language to discuss texts.

    General Course Information and Notes

    GENERAL NOTES

    Library Media programs provide a welcoming, resource-rich environment that support multiple literacies, cultivates a culture of inquiry and literacy appreciation, and encourages the independent, ethical exploration of information and ideas.

    In this course third grade students will experiment with and use print and digital resources; create and evaluate various forms of media and self-select materials for personal and academic needs in the library/media center.  They will experiment with presentation formats to convey meaning and understanding.  Students will use accurate vocabulary, terms, and procedures, as well as time-management and collaborative skills.  Content includes but is not limited to, topics in social studies, science and mathematics with the use of technology and through shared experiences with multiple genres of print and non-print materials.

    Instructional Practices

    The purpose of this course is to provide a student-centered library media program that helps students to be information literate.  Students will learn to use information for critical thinking and problem solving through instructional experiences based on, but not limited to, the state academic standards (SAS) that are most relevant to this course.  Appropriate correlations will also be made with ISTE, FINDS, READS, and AASL standards to ensure a comprehensive educational experience.

    The framework of the library media center instructional program is:

    1. We can share knowledge and participate ethically and productively as members of a democratic society.
    2. We can draw conclusions, make informed decisions, collaborate, and apply knowledge to new situations using technology and other information tools.
    3. We can pursue personal and aesthetic growth.
    4. We can inquire, think critically, and gain knowledge from a variety of sources.

    In this course the library media educator will integrate grade levels/subject areas through the development, implementation and assessment of instructional lessons, units, and projects.  Grade level standards are the immediate focus of this course; however, it is important for educators to understand the K-12 standards as the ultimate achievement goal as students' progress.

    English Language Development (ELD) Standards Special Notes Section:

    Teachers are required to provide listening, speaking, reading and writing instruction that allows English language learners (ELL) to communicate for social and instructional purposes within the school setting.   For the given level of English language proficiency and with visual, graphic, or interactive support, students will interact with grade level words, expressions, sentences and discourse to process or produce language necessary for academic success. The ELD standard should specify a relevant content area concept or topic of study chosen by curriculum developers and teachers which maximizes an ELL’s need for communication and social skills.
