Implementing District Standards: Meeting the Illinois Learning Standards.
This unit meets several standards that are set forth by the Illinois Learning Standards. Standards for high school stipulate that students must:
1. Read with understanding and fluency.
2. Read and understand literature representative of various societies, eras, and ideas.
3. Write to communicate for a variety of purposes
4. Listen and speak effectively in a variety of situations
5. Use the language arts to acquire, assess, and communicate information.
In this unit, I have used numerous strategies and activities which will ensure that students are reading with fluency and understanding literature that is representative of other genres. Students will also have several writing assignments including their sonnets and they will be asked to listen to and respond to questions, observations, comments, and participate in class discussion.
