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.

Four Corners Technique

This technique stimulates student learning

through movement and discussion, and it

can also be used as a formative assessment.

Students are presented with a controversial

statement or are asked a question. In each

of the four corners of the classroom, an

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.
