Dayna Dean ENG-472 Professor Whistler March 4, 2021 ELA Standards Reflection and Matrix 1. Some benefits of state and national reading standards for grades 6-12 is to make sure each student is gaining exposure to the range of texts ant tasks, allowing them to specifically increase their learning of complex texts throughout the years and defines the strong and weak points of students’ learning. It benefits to broader topics and goes through each topic individually. (Initiative, 2010, p. 35-40) For a Florida standard example, they have more specific standards than the national standards. They are more detailed than the national standards (of Education, n.d.). For a national standard example, going over key ideas and details and then going in depth with the topic. As students move to the next grade level, it adds more and more detail to the topic being taught. (Initiative, 2010, p. 35-40) 2. I think that some potential struggles that I might have with state and national reading standards of grades 6-12 will be the struggles of finding what I need to do for lesson plans. I want to make sure my lesson plans are based of both standards. And since some of the standards from both state and national may be different, they have to be incorporated into a lesson plan. For instance, LAFS.6.RL.1.1 states to “Cite textual evidence to support analysis of what the text says explicitly as well as inferences drawn from the text (of Education, n.d.)” when national standards state that “Cite textual evidence to support analysis of what the text says explicitly as well as inferences drawn from the text (Initiative, 2010, p. 35-40)”.

Dean 2 National or State English Language Arts Standard (use exact language and include standard number and grade level(s)) Purpose of the Standard (the purpose of the standard in your own words) Standard in Action (how the standard might look or be applied) Example: “Analyze the extent to which a filmed or live production of a story or drama stays faithful to or departs from the text or script, evaluating the choices made by the director or actors.” (Common Core reading standard 7; grade 8) The purpose of this standard is to encourage students to understand, synthesize, and articulate similarities and differences between visual and written texts. The goal is for students to understand the decisions made by stakeholders when a text shifts from a textual to visual medium. English Language Arts Common Core Reading Standard 7 could appear in the classroom when reading a text and then watching the film adaptation of that text. For instance, the students could read Hatchet by Gary Paulsen and then compare the movie version to the book. Standard 1: “Describe how a particular story’s or drama’s plot unfolds in a series of episodes as well as how the characters respond or change as the plot moves toward a resolution.” (Common Core reading standard 3; grade 6) The purpose of this standard is to show the students change and how the character reacts to the change meaning actions towards the ending. English Language Arts Common Core Reading Standard 3 could appear in the classroom when reading a play and the plot changes, so the character changes and/or reacts to that change. For example, The Fault in Our Stars by John Green. Standard 2: “Analyze a case in which grasping point of view requires distinguishing what is directly stated in a text from what is really meant (e.g., satire, sarcasm, irony, or understatement).” (Common Core reading standard 6; grades 11-12) The purpose of this standard is to make sure students know what is being said is actually meant, meaning to distinguish the difference between the texts. English Language Arts Common Core Reading Standard 3 could appear in the classroom when analyzing texts to understand what is really meant. For example, “Just as if a man—any man—could keep a kitchen properly” from A Rose for Emily by William Faulkner. Standard 3: “Determine the meaning of words and phrases as they are used in a text, including figurative and connotative meanings; analyze the impact of a specific word choice on meaning and tone. “(Florida State reading standard LAFS.6.RL.2.4; grade 6) The purpose of this standard is to encourage students to find meaning in the specific novels, poems, and famous works.

Dean 3 English Language Arts Florida State Reading Standard 2.4 could appear in the classroom when in the middle of a poetry unit and students need to figure out the meaning of the poems that are given to them. For instance, finding the meaning of The Raven by Edgar Allen Poe.
