It lists all the components available for each lesson in the textbook and offers options that help you address your own curriculum needs, student requirements, and schedules. This integrated approach makes it easy to incorporate language arts skills such as reading, vocabulary, critical thinking, and media literacy into each lesson. To help you meet the diverse needs of your students, the Mirrors & Windows program offers a wealth of material—much more than you can teach in one school year. As a result, one challenge you will face is identifying the resources that are best suited to your particular situation. The Program Planning Guide offers several tools to help you meet that challenge. The guide begins with a Core Standards-Based Selections chart outlining a basic course of study for teaching the critical skills covered in formal language arts assessments. If you start your curriculum planning with this chart, you will know that you are teaching the key material your students need for success. Three types of lesson plans are provided in the body of this guide: • Unit introduction plans allow you to plan your teaching of each unit and introduce the unit. • Selection plans include one or more selections, plus workshops and special features that are grouped with those selections. • End-of-unit workshop plans cover the workshops that appear at the end of each unit. The lesson plans begin with pacing, selection details (if applicable), and objectives. They are then broken into the following categories to provide easy identification of the information you need: Plan, Preview and Motivate, Teach, Differentiate Instruction, Review and Extend, and Assess. Each plan lists all the supplemental resources that support the lesson: • Meeting the Standards activities and quizzes • Differentiated Instruction lessons • Exceeding the Standards lessons • Assessment Guide tests and exams • TechnologyTools:EMC Launchpad, Annotated Teacher’s Edition on CD, Interactive Student Text on CD, ExamView® Assessment Suite on CD, ETS Online Criterion-Based Essay Grader (Grades 9–12), Visual Teaching Package, EMC Audio Library, EMC E-Library, and mirrorsandwindows.com Additional planning materials appear in your Annotated Teacher’s Edition. The Visual Planning Guide at the start of each unit presents a quick view of the supplemental materials available for each selection. The Scope and Sequence Guide provides a breakdown of the apparatus for each selection, including literary elements, reading level and reading skills, cross-curricular connections, and the Mirrors & Windows theme. The E-Lesson Planner packages the entire Mirrors & Windows program, including the lesson plans, in one easy-to-use calendar resource. With the E-Lesson Planner, you can link directly to activities listed in the lesson plans, search complete versions of all teacher resources, download correlated Common Core State Standards and your state standards directly into your lesson plans, customize lesson plans and save links to your own resources and lessons, drag and drop prepared lesson plans into a calendar, display multiple course plans on one calendar, and export completed course plans to your Microsoft® Outlook® calendar. © EMC Publishing, LLC 00i-202_PPG_Gr06-CCSS.indd 7 Program Planning Guide introduCtion vii 2/10/11 1:17 PM Mirrors & Windows Core Standards-Based Selections Level I (Grade 6) The selections and workshops listed here represent the core course of study students need to master critical skills that appear on formal assessments. To ensure standards coverage, students who are having difficulty may concentrate on only these selections and workshops. Students on and above grade level may read more selections.
