1 M/J Language Arts 3, 8 th grade The following curriculum map is based on the Common Core State Standards (CCSS), which are accessible on and expectations from the Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers (PARCC) consortium Model Content Frameworks, which are accessible on Each quarter of instruction is based around an emphasis on either extended literary text or extended informational text. All of the other shorter texts, which are a combination of literary and informational pieces for every quarter, should connect topically or thematically to the extended texts and be of sufficient text complexity for close, analytic reading. During class discussion of what has been read, students should consistently be asked to find evidence from the text. This textual evidence should then be used in the students writing, research, and presentations. The writing that students do should relate to what has been read and discussed in the unit. Over the course of the year, eighth grade writing should be 70 percent analytical (35 percent argument and 35 percent to inform/explain) and 30 percent narrative with a mix of routine, on-demand, and review-and-revision writing assignments. When possible, research should connect to texts selected for close readings, requiring students to closely read and compare and synthesize ideas across multiple texts. Through a progression of research tasks, students are called on to present their findings in a variety of modes in informal and formal contexts appropriate to the eighth grade level (e.g., through oral presentations, argumentative or explanatory compositions, or multimedia products). The study and application of vocabulary and grammar should take place within the context of what students read and write. Students should understand the use of proper diction and tone for formal and informal speaking occasions and the importance of proper word choice when using the spoken and written word. The map also reflects the eight measurement topics as a support for grading. The topics are: Reading Literary Text, Reading Informational Text, Writing Types & Purposes,, Study & Apply Grammar, Study & Apply Vocabulary, Discussion & Collaboration, and Present Knowledge & Ideas. Standards on the map have been grouped under the appropriate measurement topics and some standards appear under more than one measurement topic. Assignments and assessments will naturally fall under multiple measurement topics; teachers will use professional judgment to assess learning across all of the standards and measurement topics over the course of each grading period.
