Why a Shift in Thinking?

"  Distinction between language development (a process) and language proficiency (a point in time)

"  Evolving nature and prominence of academic language use in school and its tie to academic success

"  Influence of the new wave of standards (CCSS & NGSS)

WIDA’s View

For WIDA, the ELD Standards Framework reflects the notion of the language of school as a semiotic skill within an assessment framework that operationalizes the functions and features of language and sociocultural context of language learning in ways that are helpful to teachers and students.

eaching

Identify language that indicates narrative points of view (e.g., “I” v. “he/ she”) from illustrated text using a word/phrase bank with a partner

Identify language that indicates narrative points of view (e.g., “he felt scared”) from illustrated text using a word/phrase bank with a partner

Categorize passages based on narrative points of view from illustrated text using a word/phrase bank with a partner

Compare narrative points of view in extended texts with a partner

Compare and contrast narrative points of view in extended texts

TOPIC-RELATED LANGUAGE: Students at all levels of English language proficiency interact with grade-level words and expressions, such as: narrate, narration, first person, third person

GRADE 4

ELD STANDARD 2 - The Language of Language Arts EXAMPLE TOPIC: Narration

CONNECTION: Common Core State Reading Standards for Literature, Craft and Structure #6 (Grade 4): Compare and contrast the point of view from which different stories are narrated, including the difference between first- and third-person narrations.

EXAMPLE CONTEXT FOR LANGUAGE USE: After a whole group discovery activity exploring narrative points of view, students review example narrative texts to discover how first- and third-person narrations convey different perspectives.
