Instructional Guidelines
Duration for each unit is approximate and may vary from classroom to classroom. Teachers should make instructional decisions based on the
standards. Selecting quality literary selections in order to attain an instructional goal is more important than selecting texts based on quantity.
Pre-AP/Honors/Enrichment curriculums will appear in italics. Students having to fulfill additional instructional requirements above the
regular ELA curriculum will complete all the activities designated in the pacing as well as the additional italicized requirements.
Additionally, Holt’s Literature Common Core Edition provides differentiated instruction for advanced or pre-AP learners for most selections.
Establish an opening (daily bell-ringer) and closing (exit slip) routine. Bell-ringer activities may include regular language practice, mini-
grammar lessons, commonly-confused words, commonly missed objectives, ACT, Work Keys, end-of-quarter objectives, daily oral
grammar, etc.
Teachers should develop a writing folder for each students for works in progress and conferencing.
All skills will be teacher assessed. Bolded skills will be teacher assessed and tested at the end of the quarter.
Assessments – While the teacher will conduct daily, frequent formative assessments to check for understanding (jigsaw, think-pair-share, exit
and entrance slips), he/she will also assess (when appropriate - weekly, every three weeks, etc.) with a standards-based assessment to check
the student’s level of comprehension. The test should contain multiple choice and constructed responses to examine the student’s depth of
knowledge concerning the standards as outlined in Alabama’s Course of Study and not the content of individual reading selections, such as
plot sequence, character names, etc.
While it is expected that teachers will utilize the strategies provided in the wrap-around content located in the Holt teachers’ editions and
district-supplied ancillary materials, additional instructional support has been suggested when appropriate. These additional strategies will
follow the specific texts and/or selections.
Resources: HL – Holt Literature Common Core Edition; WC – Writer’s Choice; AL COS – Alabama Course of Study; and selected
links embedded in pacing when appropriate

Students will begin reading first novel
selection. See AL COS for a list of
recommended novels for reading. Students
should keep a reflective journal as they
read and be prepared for quizzes as
assigned by the teacher. Lessons should
focus on students becoming independent
readers after establishing good reading
skills: close reading, annotation, etc. This
gradual release should move as quickly as
the students’ comprehension levels will
allow. At the end of the scheduled reading
time (by the end of quarter 1), students

This technique stimulates student learning

Students are presented with a controversial
statement or are asked a question. In each

opinion or response is posted. Students
express their opinion or response by
standing in front of one of four statements,
and then talking to others about why they
have chosen their corner. Four Corners
promotes listening, verbal communication,
critical thinking, and decision-making.
