CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.W.8.3.
A - Engage and orient the reader by
establishing a context and point of view and introducing a narrator and/or characters; organize an event sequence that unfolds naturally and logically. The brainstorming lesson accomplishes this standard because we will be talking about perspectives during this lesson, and they will learn how to create a point-of-view, character, and plot through brainstorming. We will further this knowledge when we have the full lesson on plot because they will then plan the sequencing of their narratives. CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.W.8.3.B - Use narrative techniques, such as dialogue, pacing, description, and reflection, to develop experiences, events, and/or characters. There will be many narrative techniques covered in this unit. The lesson on characters and dialogue will help the students understand how to use those two elements to their benefit while writing, and they will learn to make their dialogue believable in relation to their character. CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.W.8.3.D - Use precise words and phrases, relevant descriptive details, and sensory language to capture the action and convey experiences and events. The lesson plan about figurative language will fully prepare the students for using sensory language to convey the elements of their plot. They will learn to use figurative language to their benefit to create an interesting narrative. They will also have a mini-lesson on avoiding dead words so they can have a wider variation in word choice.
CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.W.8.4 - Produce clear and coherent writing in which
the development, organization, and style are appropriate to task, purpose, and audience. (Grade-specific expectations for writing types are defined in standards 1-3 above.) The full lesson on organization will guide the students in writing a clear essay that flows easily for the reader. Students will learn to arrange their story in an organized sequence that will make sense to the reader. CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.W.8.5 - With some guidance and support from peers and adults, develop and strengthen writing as needed by planning, revising, editing, rewriting, or trying a new approach, focusing on how well purpose and audience have been addressed. (Editing for conventions should demonstrate command of Language standards 1-3 up to and including grade 8 here.) Students will learn this CCSS when they have their lessons on self-editing and peer-editing. Both of these are mini lessons designed to provide students the skills to revise and edit their writing. They will also get the opportunity to revise their rough draft so they can practice this skill. CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.W.8.8 - Gather relevant information from multiple print and digital sources, using search terms effectively; assess the credibility and accuracy of each source; and quote or paraphrase the data and conclusions of others while avoiding plagiarism and following a standard format for citation. Students will accomplish this CCSS through the media center lesson. They will learn to how to search properly using the correct terms so they can find their best resource.
CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.W.8.9 - Draw evidence from literary or informational
texts to support analysis, reflection, and research. This is also accomplished through the media center lesson because it teaches the students how to use the librarys computer system to find resources for their narratives.
