Arlington Public SchoolsEnglish Language Arts (ELA) Scope and Sequence, Grades 6-8PurposeThe English Language Arts Middle School Scope and Sequence serves as an instructional guideline to align classroom instruction withthe English Standards of Learning across Arlington Public Schools. Following the common scope and sequence will establishconsistency of instruction throughout the district by providing clear guidelines on what students must know and be able to do in orderto become proficient in reading and writing. This consistency benefits students, specifically those who move within the schooldivision, and also teachers. A common scope and sequence will provide opportunities for collaborative planning among teammembers and allow for focused professional development.The sequence established is designed to support the cycle of planning, assessment and instruction for classroom instruction as well asto inform instruction in intervention and enrichment settings. Further, it is written to support teacher planning and collaboration.Format of the ELA Scope and SequenceThe English Language Arts Middle School Scope and Sequence provides a quarterly pacing guide for grades six through eight. Thedocument focuses on the reading and writing strands of the English Standards of Learning. At each grade level there are somestandards that are expected to be taught throughout the year, as well as specific standards to be taught during each quarter. In thisdocument, all of the grade level standards are directly taught during the first three quarters of the year to allow for review, application,and extension during the fourth quarter.Tools for TeachersThe ELA Middle School Scope and Sequence provides a road map for the explicit instruction of reading and writing in ArlingtonPublic Schools. Additionally, quarterly checklists have been provided for teachers to support deliberate planning.Formative Assessment CycleArlington Public Schools will implement a cycle of ongoing formative assessments in language arts using the Interactive Achievement(IA) system that are aligned with the English Language Arts Middle School Scope and Sequence, Grades 6-8. The followingassessments will be administered: beginning-of-the year diagnostic assessment, quarter 1, quarter 2, quarter 3, and the end-of-yearStandards of Learning Assessment. The IA assessments will be computer-based and reflect the format of the Standards of Learningassessments. Use of student achievement data from these assessments will support teachers’ knowledge of their students’understanding of the skills that have been taught each quarter. The data will inform decisions related to re-teaching and enrichmentopportunities. The extensive data provided (i.e., individual student, class, grade, strand, item analysis) will also support collaborationin data analysis and instructional planning.
The English Language Arts office is available to support schools in the implementation of the English Language Arts Middle SchoolScope and Sequence and the ongoing formative assessments for the purpose of student learning.Special ThanksThe ELA Office would like to thank the curriculum development committee, who reviewed scope and sequence documents fromsurrounding localities, learned to utilize Interactive Achievement, researched VDOE and other related resources to compose the APSEnglish Language Arts Middle School Scope and Sequence, Grades 6-8. Special thanks also belong to the administrators and teachersat Swanson Middle Schools for field-testing the quarterly assessments.Curriculum Committee MembersDr. Michelle Picard, Supervisor, English Language ArtsDr. Teri Adkins, Specialist, English Language ArtsGayle Kelley, ELA Reading SpecialistPaula Lamina, ELA Secondary SpecialistJohn Stewart, Grade 8 Teacher, Gunston Middle SchoolDinorah Macelwain, Middle School Reading Teacher (MSRT), Gunston Middle SchoolJennifer Dodd, Middle School Reading Teacher (MSRT), Williamsburg Middle SchoolNicole Goerss, Middle School Reading Teacher (MSRT), Swanson Middle SchoolSherilyn Wall, Grade 7 Teacher, Williamsburg Middle SchoolHeather Martin, Grade 7 Teacher, Williamsburg Middle School
The ELA Scope and Sequence introduces the explicit instruction of each standard in the first three quarters. Standards for reading and writing that are taughtthroughout the year are listed on the first page of this document. Subsequent pages denote which reading and writing skills and strategies are explicitly taughtduring that quarter. This allows for an integrated review in the fourth quarter. It is the expectation that these skills will be reinforced after they have been taught.Reading Standards Taught throughout the YearReading Standards Taught throughout the YearGrade Six6.4 The student will read and learn the meanings ofunfamiliar words and phrases within authentic texts.a) Identify word origins and derivations.b) Use roots, cognates, affixes, synonyms, andantonyms to expand vocabulary.c) Use context and sentence structure to determinemeanings and differentiate among multiple meaningsof words.d) Identify and analyze figurative language.e) Use word-reference materials.f) Extend general and specialized vocabulary throughspeaking, listening, reading, and writing.6.5 The student will read and demonstrate comprehensionof a variety of fictional texts, narrative nonfiction, andpoetry.a) Identify the elements of narrative structure,including setting, character, plot, conflict, and theme.b) Make, confirm, and revise predictions.c) Describe how word choice and imagery contributeto the meaning of a text.d) Describe cause and effect relationships and theirimpact on plot.e) Use prior and background knowledge as context fornew learning.f) Use information in the text to draw conclusions andmake inferences.g) Explain how character and plot development areused in a selection to support a central conflict orstory line.Grade SevenReading7.4 The student will read to determine the meanings andpronunciations of unfamiliar words and phrases withinauthentic texts.a) Identify word origins and derivations.b) Use roots, cognates, affixes, synonyms, andantonyms to expand vocabulary.c) Identify and analyze figurative language.d) Identify connotations.e) Use context and sentence structure to determinemeanings and differentiate among multiple meaningsof words.f) Extend general and specialized vocabulary throughspeaking, listening, reading, and writing.7.5 The student will read and demonstrate comprehensionof a variety of fictional texts, narrative nonfiction, andpoetry.a) Describe the elements of narrative structureincluding setting, character development, plotstructure, theme, and conflict.b) Compare and contrast various forms and genres offictional text.c) Identify conventional elements and characteristicsof a variety of genres.d) Describe the impact of word choice, imagery, andliterary devices including figurative language.e) Make, confirm, and revise predictions.f) Use prior and background knowledge as a context fornew learning.g) Make inferences and draw conclusions based onthe text.SOL Blueprint items are denoted in boldGrade Eight8.4 The student will apply knowledge of word origins,analogies, and figurative language to extend vocabularydevelopment within authentic texts.a) Identify and analyze an author’s use of figurativelanguage.b) Use context, structure, and connotations todetermine meaning and differentiate among multiplemeanings of words and phrases.c) Use roots, affixes, cognates, synonyms, andantonyms to determine the meaning of unfamiliarwords and technical vocabulary.d) Use dictionaries, thesauruses, and glossaries todetermine definition, pronunciation, etymology,spelling, and usage of words.e) Discriminate between connotative and denotativemeanings and interpret the connotation.f) Extend general and specialized vocabulary throughspeaking, listening, reading, and writing.8.5 The student will read and analyze a variety of fictionaltexts, narrative nonfiction, and poetry.a) Explain the use of symbols and figurative language.b) Make inferences and draw conclusions based onexplicit and implied information using evidence fromtext as support.c) Explain how authors use characters, conflict, pointof view, voice, and tone to create meaning.d) Understand the author’s use of conventionalelements and characteristics within a variety ofgenres.e) Compare and contrast the author’s use of wordchoice, dialogue, form, rhyme, rhythm, and voice indifferent texts.f) Compare and contrast authors’ styles.g) Identify and ask questions that clarify variousviewpoints.Arlington Public SchoolsEnglish Language Arts 20134
