Students establish a foundation for effective communication by exploring how readers, writers, listeners, speakers, viewers, and representers make meaning. They will practise activating prior knowledge, asking questions, making predictions, identifying main ideas and supporting details, summarizing texts, and responding respectfully to others. Students will examine fiction, nonfiction, poetry, and visual texts, while developing routines for reading stamina, vocabulary growth, discussion, and personal reflection. In writing, they will plan, draft, revise, edit, and publish a personal narrative that includes a clear sequence, descriptive language, dialogue, and a purposeful conclusion.

Recommended Tasks
  • Create a reading-response journal containing predictions, questions, connections, vocabulary, and brief summaries for a range of fiction, nonfiction, poetry, and visual texts.
  • Participate in literature circles or small-group discussions, taking rotating roles such as questioner, connector, summarizer, and evidence finder.
  • Write, revise, and publish a personal narrative about a meaningful experience, using a planning organizer, peer feedback, descriptive details, dialogue, and an editing checklist.
