  • Title: Assessment Tools for Monitoring Literacy Skills in Content Area Instruction

    Requires Lopeswrite
    Assessment Description
    It is important for content area teachers to consider students’ literacy levels as part of instructional planning and assessment. A student who is struggling to demonstrate mastery in content area subjects may be experiencing challenges because of literacy skills deficits. For example, a student may be able to solve a geometry proof successfully but may not be able to justify the answer in writing due to difficulties with literacy skills. Having knowledge of how to use various literacy assessment tools to assess literacy skills in the content area helps teachers develop intervention and support strategies. Using research-based assessments and tracking tools, teachers can establish methods to accurately track student progress to make informed instructional decisions and determine how to best meet the needs of each student.
    Part 1: Reading Assessment Tools 
    Using the topic Resources and your own research, complete the “Reading Assessment Tools” matrix as directed.
    Part 2: Student Assessment Tracking Form
    Develop a literacy assessment data tracking form that you can use in your classroom to monitor student progress. The form should include the following:
    Content areas
    Grade levels
    Names of at least three literacy assessments that will be used, including one online tool
    Data to be recorded for each student’s literacy assessment results
    Explanation of each assessment’s data scale and how you (the content area teacher) will know if a student is making progress based upon that data
    Submit the “Reading Assessment Tools” matrix and the tracking form you created.
    Support the matrix with 3-5 scholarly resources.
    While APA Style is not required for the body of this assignment, solid academic writing is expected, and documentation of sources should be presented using APA formatting guidelines, which can be found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center. 
    This assignment uses a rubric. Review the rubric prior to beginning the assignment to become familiar with the expectations for successful completion.
    You are required to submit this assignment to LopesWrite. A link to the LopesWrite technical support articles is located in Class Resources if you need assistance.

  • Title: “Exploring Characters, Tone, Setting, Mental Health, and Plot in I Am Not Your Perfect Mexican Daughter” Title: “The Impact of ‘The Big So What’ and My Recommendation for Readers” I would highly recommend “The Big So What” to high school students, especially those who are immigrants or come from diverse backgrounds. This book not only

    Q1: character
    Character analysis / 25 points
    Please identify the following characters – protagonist, antagonist, major characters, minor characters–in I Am Not Your Perfect Mexican Daughter.  The novel has many characters.  You get to choose who you see as the 5 most important major and minor characters.  
    Be sure follow to define the term, provide character name(s), and explain in 1-2 sentence how/why the character is the/a:  
    ·       protagonist
    ·       antagonist
    ·       major characters (5, besides the protagonist and antagonist) 
    ·       minor characters (5) 
    Q2 Tone
    Tone /  Paragraph response / 25 points
    ·       Masterclass says, “In literary terms, tone typically refers to the mood implied by an author’s word choice and the way that the text can make a reader feel.”
    ·       In a paragraph, respond to the following question:  What would you say is the tone or mood of this novel?  Why?  How does Julia’s diction contribute to this tone/mood?  
    ·       Please be sure to follow the PIE paragraph frame, making sure to use textual evidence from the novel to support your analysis.
    Q3: Setting
    ·       Setting / Paragraph response / 25 points

    ·       Please be sure to follow the PIE paragraph frame, making sure to use textual evidence from the novel to support your analysis.
    Q4:Mental Health
    Mental Health / 25 points
    This question is adapted from the Reading Group guide at the end of the novel.  And this is a question in honor of Mental Health Awareness month (May).
    Throughout the novel, we see Julia unravel.  Eventually, she is diagnosed with severe depression and anxiety.  She’s also experiencing deep grief, and she lives in a mixed-immigration status home (meaning she is a U.S. citizen, but her parents are not).  In other words, she has a lot of factors impacting her mental health.  To add to that, as the Reading Guide mentions, “in Mexican-culture, seeking mental help is taboo, a sign of weakness.”  
    Many of my students (not just those who grew up in Mexican families) tell me that they can relate to Julia.  That discussing mental health is also taboo in their families.  Here are the questions you want to respond to:   Is that true for you?  In other words, is mental health a taboo topic in your family?  And if so, how does reading about Julia’s experiences impact you as a reader?   If not (meaning mental health is an open topic in your family and/or own personal life), what advice might you offer Julia about ways to take care of her mental health? 
    For this question, you can choose how you want to respond.   Here are some ideas; you can:
    ·       write a paragraph
    ·       create a pamphlet or flyer or Instagram post
    ·       make a TikTok video/short
    ·       write a journal entry
    ·       write a letter
    ·       write a series of text message exchanges between you and Julia
    ·       draw something
    You get to choose.  Just be sure you are specific to Julia’s experience, even as you address your own.
    Q5: Plot & Theme
    Plot & Theme / 25 points
    Read, Write, Think says, “The Plot Diagram is an organizational tool focusing on a pyramid or triangular shape, which is used to map the events in a story. This mapping of plot structure allows readers and writers to visualize the key features of stories.”
    To help you visualize the novel’s development, map out the plot on a plot diagram/triangle,  using just the chapter titles you already created. 
    Then, In a short answer (3-5 sentences), explain:  After looking at your chapter titles on the plot diagram, what seems to be the primary theme you emphasized in your chapter titles?  Why?  (We’ll discuss theme in Module 15).  

    Plot Diagram tools:
    ·       Interactive ToolLinks to an external site. from Read, Write, Think
    ·       Google SlideLinks to an external site.
    You can also draw out the plot diagram – you don’t have to use technology!  (Until you have to upload your handwritten diagram 😁).
    Q6:The Big So What
    The Big So What/  Paragraph response / 25 points
    In a paragraph, respond to this question:  would you recommend this book?  If so, to whom?  (Don’t say everyone – that’s too general.  Maybe its English 1B students?  high school immigrants?  Your own parents or siblings?  These are just ideas!  You get to choose if you would recommend the book and to whom).  If not (and that’s perfectly ok!), why not?  Be sure to support your topic sentence with concrete textual evidence that you logically explain.
