Knowledge and Skills Statement

Composition: listening, speaking, reading, writing, and thinking using multiple texts--writing process. The student uses the writing process recursively to compose multiple texts that are legible and uses appropriate conventions.

Puede usar los criterios de evaluación que siguen como posible herramienta para checar el progreso de los estudiantes. Estos criterios deben evaluarse cuando los estudiantes están elaborando borradores y cuando han terminado un borrador final.

Ejemplo de criterios de evaluación:

1) El estudiante es incapaz de organizar un borrador con estructura, incluso con ayuda de un adulto o de herramientas de apoyo (organizador gráfico, etc.).

2) El estudiante es incapaz de organizar un borrador en forma consistente con ayuda de un adulto o de herramientas de apoyo.

3) El estudiante es capaz de organizar un borrador en forma consistente con ayuda de un adulto o de herramientas de apoyo.

4) El estudiante es capaz de organizar un borrador en forma consistente y con independencia.

Nota:

Si los estudiantes requieren de un organizador gráfico para apoyar esta expectativa estudiantil, los criterios de evaluación aún pueden emplearse para evaluar su habilidad para completar correctamente el organizador gráfico.

Once students have planned their writing, the next step in the writing process is to start organizing thoughts into sentences. This initial draft is often messy. Students should not focus on writing in a polished manner during this stage.
The structure of writing should progress in an order that is logical and easy for the reader to follow. Ideas should be presented in a manner that best reflects the intended purpose. In first grade, students are beginning to write with a clear introduction, body and conclusion, but the body may be brief.
