2 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The Redlands Unified School District would like to acknowledge and thank the following teachers for their contribution in the development and/or revision of the ENGLISH/LANGUAGE ARTS Scope & Sequence: Karen Alexander Ed Berman Jody Bradberry Cindy Brand Linda Carter Pat Carter Marie Fine Bonnie Gibson Pam Kettering Fleury Laycook Brandy Major Alina Messersmith Joshua Murguia Cathy Perkins Rose-Marie Raumin Thomas Rey Yolanda Thurman Ann Van Mouwerik Annie Vasconcellos Jennifer Webb RUSD/Secondary Ed. 8/9/04

3 REDLANDS UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT ENGLISH/LANGUAGE ARTS Scope & Sequence Expanded Special Education INTRODUCTION: The ENGLISH/LANGUAGE ARTS Scope & Sequence Committees (made up of English teachers and special education teachers) have worked to develop pacing guides for each grade level that ensure RUSD curriculum fully addresses State Standards, using the adopted Prentice Hall English/language arts material. With this in mind, teachers are to use this Expanded Scope & Sequence as the core of their English/language arts instruction. Lessons listed in bold under Text Support are core, and have been selected to ensure that all students have access to the California State Standards. Items listed in italics are suggested activities. Correlated district multiple assessments will be administered at the end of each semester. The content of the district multiple assessments aligns with the Text Support section of the Scope and Sequence. The grades 6-12 Expanded Scope & Sequence have been divided over quarters. In each of these quarters, there are instructional days that are NOT addressed by the Expanded Scope & Sequence. This allows teachers flexibility to provide additional instruction in specific areas based on student needs. A WORD ABOUT THE DEVELOPMENT AND REVISION OF THE EXPANDED SCOPE & SEQUENCE: The Expanded Scope & Sequence was developed by English teachers and special education teachers. Middle school and high school sites had representation on each grade level committee. Accommodations and modifications should be made in the presentation of curriculum based on needs of the individual students in the classroom. Careful thought and consideration was given to any changes that were made to the order of the textbook series. Changes were made for one or more of the reasons listed below. Please note, prerequisite teaching was not required to move the chapter/lesson. A change in sequence better meets the developmental readiness of students. Grade level experience with the ease/difficulty of learning a given concept. The Expanded Scope and Sequence has many materials to support the textbook (e.g. student workbook, CD-ROM, practice and re-teach pages, teacher s guide and other teacher support material). Only standards that are directly instructed in the lessons are listed in the Expanded Scope and Sequence. Grammar is an important State Standard that requires thoughtful instruction. Grammar topics that are to be covered for the quarter are listed at the end of each quarter. Each lesson has been carefully selected for the scope and sequence to ensure that all state standards are taught. By teaching each lesson in its entirety all standards will have been adequately addressed by the conclusion of the year. The Expanded Scope & Sequence contains the essential teaching of the core English/language arts program. It does not include teacher-generated or text-based assessments. The teacher has the flexibility to choose the most appropriate chapter assessments to guide classroom instruction. RUSD/Secondary Ed. 8/9/04

They analyze the organizational patterns, arguments, and positions advanced. The selections in Recommended Literature, Grades Nine Through Twelve (1990) illustrate the quality and complexity of the materials to be read by students. In addition, by grade twelve, students read two million words annually on their own, including a wide variety of classic and contemporary literature, magazines, newspapers, and online information. In grades nine and ten, students make substantial progress toward this goal. 9 th Grade Career Curriculum: Do all 1 st semester activities Outside Reading The out of class reading requirement is one selection each quarter.
