Purposes for Writing

Writing to Learn Learning to Write
• Student thinking
• Make visible student’s
prior knowledge of the
content
• Make visible how
student’s understanding
develop through
instruction
• Make visible which
content is still difficult
for students to
understand
• Student production
• Informational and/or
argumentative student
writing
• This product, written
and edited for public
presentation, is graded
and considered a
summative
assessment.
Unit 4 includes: • Examples from scientists’ notebooks
• Links to key research-base resources on the benefits of science notebooks
• Samples of students’ notebooks in grades 1, 5, 8, and HS (from the example classrooms)
• Video of a panel of K-12 teachers discussing the advantages to use science notebooks
Science: A Setting for ELD
Integrate CA CCSS for ELA Literacy in Science and CA ELD Standards into science instruction.
Engage in the following activities
View a classroom video of standards-based instruction that supports ELD
Identify practices in the video that develop speaking and listening skills as a precursor to writing for ELD
Develop a lesson for your classroom that integrates CA ELD standards with science content and CA CCSS for ELA Literacy in Science
Unit 6: Planning for Student
Success
39
• Conceptual Flow
Build coherence
through a 5-step
process to identify
and organize
concepts and plan for
the sequence of
instruction.
from Concept Flow to 5E Lesson Plan
• Develop a 5-E lesson
plan that explicitly
integrates literacy to
increase student
understanding of
science content

Module Summary and 3-2-1
• List three ideas for using the module in your context.
• List two challenges you need to address for successful integration in your district or classroom.
