Targheeb’s English Language Arts and literacy program is based on English Language Arts guided principles to develop higher level thinking and language skills simultaneously through interactive learning. Students will draw on literature in order to develop understanding of informational texts and multimedia in order to build academic vocabulary and strong content knowledge and to develop oral language and literacy through level-appropriate learning activities and projects.
Students will engage in various writing practices and continue to listen, speak, read, write, review, and represent to explore thoughts, ideas, feelings, and experiences; comprehend and respond personally and critically to oral, literary, and media texts; use strategies and cues; understand forms and techniques; manage ideas and information; organize and record information; develop new understandings; assess knowledge through inquiry or research processes; and represent to enhance the clarity and artistry of communication.
Areas of study include:
Spelling and Vocabulary: Students will learn Greek and Latin prefixes and suffixes, homophones, homonyms, homographs, contractions, possessives, verb endings, altered sounds, interjections, conjunctions, word order, context clues, jargons, idioms, similes, metaphors, hyperboles, proverbs, compound words, antonyms, synonyms, guided words, syllables, pronunciations and definitions.
Students will also identify how and why word structures and meanings change, use accurate word meanings according to context, and use a variety of strategies including syllabication, visual memory, and spelling patterns when editing and proofreading.
English Language Arts: Students will be able to manage ideas and information; determine information needs; identify descriptive and figurative language, literary, and media texts; and understand and use a variety of forms and genres such as poetry, parts of a book, articles, news reports, documentaries and more.
Students will also experiment with words and sentence patterns to create word pictures; identify figures of speech and ways in which they convey meaning; create original texts such as journals and posters by combining print and art to communicate and demonstrate their understanding of forms and techniques; and attend to conventions such as grammar and usage, spelling, punctuation and capitalization, use of encyclopedias and research skills.
Students will also recognize types of sentences, simple and compound subjects and predicates, correct run on sentences, phrases, clauses, and paragraphs; understand analogies; use antecedents, prepositional phrases, subject,object and reflexive pronouns correctly; and identify word usage errors.
Grammar and Mechanics: Students will review eight parts of speech, types of nouns (common, proper, abstract, and collective nouns, singular and plural nouns, singular and plural possessive nouns), verb tenses (present, past, future and perfect verb tenses), forms of irregular verbs, helping and linking verbs, subject-verb agreement, agreement with linking verbs, subject and object pronouns, adjectives, adjectives that compare, adverbs, adverbs that compare, prepositions, conjunctions, and interjections.
Students will also practice punctuation, contractions, quotation marks, use of dash and hyphen, colon and semicolon, parentheses, commas, capitalization and writing titles.
Reading: students will learn to analyze texts critically. Students will think beyond the literal meaning to question, interpret, analyze, evaluate and infer what they read. They will also make meaningful connections and improve their thinking levels while setting goals for improvement in reading and viewing skills.
Students will read short fictional and non-fictional stories, essays, news articles, magazines, manuals, recipes, maps, graphs, illustrations, charts, drawings and diagrams, and timelines. They will also identify fact and opinion and answer comprehension questions related to reading texts.
Reading Strategies: Students will learn to visualize, summarize, connect to prior knowledge, retell, revise and confirm, make text to text connections, identify context clues, analyze main idea and details, analyze characters, recognize author’s purpose or point of view, make predictions, make inferences, understand the plot, identify cause and effect, sequence events, organize, differentiate between fact and opinion, compare and contrast, identify dialogues and plays, interpret table of contents, analyze different points of view, identify problems and solutions, interpret charts and graphs, recognize the elements of a biography, and draw conclusions.
