Total time of Language Arts Instruction:

Follow the guidelines in your pacing guide to determine the “ON GENRE” that you are to teach. This genre will be the main focus of your Spanish Language Arts instruction for Reading
and Comprehension.
Although the Preview/Review strategy of reading the same story in both the Spanish/English anthologies is a good frontloading technique, students in the Dual Immersion program need to
be challenged and enriched with a variety of literature and a wide range of genres. The Preview/Review strategy will only be implemented at the teacher’s discretion as directed by the
needs of his/her students.
Being that the curricular design at 4th grade allocates only 3 days for SLA instruction for a program that is traditionally taught in 5 days in mainstream classes, Dual Immersion classes
have the discretion of allocating 2 weeks (6 days) to teach the SLA standards stated in the pacing guide. 6 days may also be allocated for an anthology selection in Tesoros.

4th grade Dual Immersion Blue Print Focus Standards for English Language Arts Instruction
The 4th grade Dual Immersion teachers will analyze the California Standards English Language Arts Blueprints, as adopted by the State Board of Education. Upon analyzing the blueprints, teachers will determine which standards
somewhat transfer, and which standards do not transfer. Teachers will also determine which standards will be taught alternately- meaning that the standard will be taught in Spanish one week and in English the following week.
Standards that only somewhat transfer will be taught, however, not to the extent that the standards that do not transfer. The priority of English Language Arts instruction will be on the standards that do not transfer.
