LA Outcomes for grade 9 project

Posted: November 13, 2013

Be sure to use the Outcomes when developing your projects.  Projects must address the three areas of focus.   CURRICULUM OUTCOMESThe general curriculum outcomes are the foundation for all English language arts curriculum guides. They identify what students are expected to know and be able to do upon completion of study in English language arts. Although the statements of learning outcomes are organized under the headings Speaking and Listening, Reading and Viewing, and Writing and Other Ways of Representing, it is important to recognize that all these language processes are interrelated and can be developed most effectively as interdependent processes. Speaking and Listening 1 Students will be expected to speak and listen to explore, extend, clarify, and reflect on their thoughts, ideas, feelings, and experiences.2 Students will be expected to communicate information and ideas effectively and clearly, and to respond personally and critically.3 Students will be expected to interact with sensitivity and respect, considering the situation, audience, and purpose.
