 Method selection and Justification of this selection.

A private country school is located in an exclusive northern area from Bogota.

The school has the status of bilingual school the scholar day lasts 6 hours. It is a sixth-grade group and it

has 19 students, there are 10 girls and 9 boys. The student's English level is B1 in writing and reading, and

an A2 in speaking and listening skills.

And I choose The Whole Language Approach because this approach is focused on reading and writing. "By

this is meant a focus on teaching the separate components of language such as grammar, vocabulary, and

word recognition, and in particular the teaching of phonics." It goes perfectly with the community choosen.

strategies such as definition, classification, comparison/contrast, and

charts, tables), and multimedia when useful to aiding comprehension.

Develop the topic with relevant facts, definitions, concrete details,

quotations, or other information and examples.

sensory language to convey experiences and events.

Production and Distribution of Writing:

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.)

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. (Editing for conventions should
demonstrate command of Language standards 1-3 up to and
including grade 6 here.)

Use technology, including the Internet, to produce and publish

writing as well as to interact and collaborate with others;
demonstrate sufficient command of keyboarding skills to type a
minimum of three pages in a single sitting.
Research to Build and Present Knowledge:

Conduct short research projects to answer a question, drawing on

several sources and refocusing the inquiry when appropriate.

Gather relevant information from multiple print and digital sources;

assess the credibility of each source; and quote or paraphrase the
data and conclusions of others while avoiding plagiarism and
providing basic bibliographic information for sources.

Draw evidence from literary or informational texts to support

analysis, reflection, and research.

Apply grade 6 Reading standards to literature (e.g., "Compare and

contrast texts in different forms or genres [e.g., stories and poems;
historical novels and fantasy stories] in terms of their approaches to
similar themes and topics").

Apply grade 6 Reading standards to literary nonfiction (e.g., "Trace

and evaluate the argument and specific claims in a text,
distinguishing claims that are supported by reasons and evidence
from claims that are not").

Range of Writing:

Write routinely over extended time frames (time for research,

reflection, and revision) and shorter time frames (a single sitting or a
day or two) for a range of discipline-specific tasks, purposes, and
audiences.
READING

Key Ideas and Details:

Cite textual evidence to support analysis of what the text says explicitly
as well as inferences drawn from the text.

Determine a theme or central idea of a text and how it is conveyed

through particular details; provide a summary of the text distinct from
personal opinions or judgments.

Describe how a particular story's or drama's plot unfolds in a series of

episodes as well as how the characters respond or change as the plot
moves toward a resolution.
Craft and Structure:

Determine the meaning of words and phrases as they are used in a

text, including figurative and connotative meanings; analyze the
impact of a specific word choice on meaning and tone

Analyze how a particular sentence, chapter, scene, or stanza fits into

the overall structure of a text and contributes to the development of
the theme, setting, or plot.

Explain how an author develops the point of view of the narrator or

speaker in a text.
 Integration of Knowledge and Ideas:

Compare and contrast the experience of reading a story, drama, or

poem to listening to or viewing an audio, video, or live version of the
text, including contrasting what they "see" and "hear" when reading
the text to what they perceive when they listen or watch.

Compare and contrast texts in different forms or genres (e.g., stories

and poems; historical novels and fantasy stories) in terms of their
approaches to similar themes and topics.
Range of Reading and Level of Text Complexity:

By the end of the year, read and comprehend literature, including

stories, dramas, and poems, in the grades 6-8 text complexity band
proficiently, with scaffolding as needed at the high end of the range.
