A Fish Out of Water | | Writing and Other Ways of Representing | | Students will be expected to use writing and other forms of representation to explore, clarify, and reflect on their thoughts, feelings, experiences, and learnings; and to use their imaginations. - demonstrate competence in the frequent use of writing and representing strategies to extend learning; to explore their own thoughts and consider others’ ideas; to reflect on their feelings, values, and attitudes; and to identify problems and describe logical solutions
- demonstrate an awareness of how and when to integrate interesting effects in imaginative writing and other ways of representing; include thoughts and feelings in addition to external descriptions and activities; integrate detail that adds richness and density; identify and correct inconsistencies and avoid extraneous detail; make effective language choices relevant to style and purpose, and, when appropriate, select more elaborate and sophisticated vocabulary and phrasing
Students will be expected to create texts collaboratively and independently, using a variety of forms for a range of audiences and purposes. - continue to develop writing forms previously introduced and expand this range to produce, for example, autobiographies, drama, surveys, graphs, literary responses, biographies, illustrations and reviews
- consider and choose writing forms that match both the writing purpose (to define, report, persuade, compare) and the reader for whom the text is intended (understand why language choice, organization, and voice used in an essay differs from that used in a media advertisement)
- understand that ideas can be represented in more than one way and used with other forms of representing (speeches, demonstrations, plays)
- keep the reader and purpose for writing in mind when choosing content, writing style, tone of voice, language choice, and text organization
