CONNECTIONS ELA STANDARDS BUSINESS & MARKETING EDUCATION

Purpose

A team of two English Language Arts (ELA) educators and three Business and Marketing Educators created this project to show the connections between the ELA standards and the Business and Marketing Education curriculum. This document will help Business educators utilize the foundation established in the ELA classroom and use those skills within a variety of Business courses. It is our hope that Business and Marketing education educators, along with ELA educators, will continue to work collaboratively to meet the students’ needs and help them understand that the skills acquired in both classrooms will be beneficial outside the school walls.

As Business educators, we see the importance of creating activities that can assist students in meeting ELA standards, which in turn can help prepare students for the ELA Regents Exam. By working together ELA educators and Business education educators can enhance the students’ connections between the two disciplines. Students will then understand that what they are doing in the classroom will meet the needs of the workplace. As Business and Marketing Education professionals, we recognize that the ELA educator is the expert in meeting the New York State ELA standards. However, we also recognize the benefit of carrying this information across curriculum so that students understand that what they are learning in the ELA classroom can and should be used in all Business courses.

Goals

Identify Grade 11 ELA standards and performance indicators correlating to Business and Marketing education curriculum.

Provide examples of Business classroom activities to meet each ELA standard and performance indicator.

Provide examples of ELA classroom activities meeting each ELA standard and performance indicator.

Create a document that can be utilized by Business educators throughout New York State to assist in integrating ELA standards into their classrooms.

Form opinions and make judgments about the validity of interpretive texts

During the study of William Shakespeare’s Macbeth, students read Sigmund Freud’s “Shakespeare: Macbeth –Freud on the Macbeths” in order to validate their own opinions and judgments about the main characters.

The educator selects various advertisements from a variety of magazines (i.e. Newsweek, Seventeen, GQ, The New Yorker, etc.) for a Journalism class. Students need to examine the advertisements to determine gender biases and the exploitation of women versus men by the advertisers.

Read two or more articles, letters, etc. on the same topic and identify biases present. For example, read a letter that is gender biased. Highlight the gender bias phrases in the letter. Then re-write the letter eliminating the gender biases that were present, in order to reach a larger audience.

Share reading experiences with a peer or adult; for example, read together silently or aloud and discuss reactions to texts

During Lord of the Flies, group students in sets of three and separate the groups from each other. Each group needs to read a selection from the novel (educator determined) aloud and discuss their reaction. The educator may want to provide prompts to facilitate discussion. After a period of time, educator can bring the groups back together for large group instruction.

In groups, analyze various advertisements to determine the techniques used to convey the meaning and intent of the ad.

Use various written mediums relevant to business topics such as newspapers, letters, emails, memorandums, etc. in order to differentiate between formal and information writing by:

- Determining the writer’s perspective, purpose and intended audience

- Identifying tone, style and use of language- Recognizing format and its significance to content

Consider the age, gender, social position, and cultural traditions of the writer

While looking at a piece of literature, students need to consider and discuss the background of the author in connection with the topic of the book (i.e. Arthur Miller writing about the Salem Witch Trials in the 1950’s, about the witch trials of 1692).

Recognize the types of language (e.g., informal vocabulary, culture-specific terminology, jargon, colloquialisms, and email conventions) that are appropriate to social communication

While showing the format of standard written language for a Regents-level essay, students discuss the difference between formal language and that which is used in instant messaging, text messaging, and notes to friends.
