Empezar con el writing:
Meter en martes y jueves TEKs del ACP de todo este semestre. Martes: contenidos en inglés y jueves contenidos en español.
Meter lo del Language Arts Six Weeks curriculum map de estas 6 semanas.
Me faltan para completar ACP DEL PRIMER SEMESTRE: meterlo en las 3rd 6 weeks:
- 5.20.A.i. Regular and irregular verbs (future y perfect tenses in the indicative – Spanish)
- 5.20. A. iii. Adjectives – their comparative and superlative forms (e.g. good, better, best). / 5.20. A. iii. Adjectives – their comparative and superlative forms (e.g. bueno, mejor, lo mejor).
El examen de writing lo ideal es sacarlo de Journeys/Senderos (los tengo fotocopiados). Como no va a haber ninguno que lo evalúe todo, complementarlo
con frases sueltas o lo que se me ocurra, alguna ficha de Senderos (hay muchas por unidad de language arts) o parecida a lo de SkillsBook. Pero al principio
puedo subir un examen de Journeys/Senderos y luego una semana antes del examen o 10 días (antes de que tenga que hacer la predicción), perfilarlo y
añadir algo que complete todas las TEK vistas.
Seguir con el reading:
El examen de reading sacarlo de Measuring up (lutorres, sanger).
Elegir el tipo de texto que quiero y me saldrán un montón de textos con las TEKS que haga seleccionado. Puedo elegir un par de ellos para el examen.
Otro par de ellos para practicar. Salen en formato editable, así que siempre puedo elegir las preguntas que más me gusten. Y sale una key.
LOS MÁS FLOJOS EN STAAR DE 4º: 15 C, 15 D, 20A, 22 A, 22 B, 22C.
