2. Writing W 5.1 Determine the purpose and audience for communicating in writing. W 5.2 Use simple planning strategies to identify and organize a limited number of ideas to support a single purpose (to convey personal experience, meet a specific need, or respond to recent learning), and produce a legible and comprehensible draft. W 5.3 Appropriately use familiar vocabulary (based on personal experience and learning) and basic text structure of simple steps/instructions/commands or a few short, well-linked paragraphs to convey ideas with several supporting details/examples reflecting some attention to audience. W 5.4 Use simple revision strategies to monitor effectiveness by re-reading and revising during the writing process and making revisions to a first and final draft based on review and feedback from others. Demonstrate beginning attention to clarity, descriptiveness, personal voice, and appropriateness of text for the intended audience. W 5.5 Make many edits of grammar (verb tense forms), spelling, sentence structure simple/compound/complex with appropriate capitalization and punctuation), language usage and text structure often with the help of tools such as simplified dictionaries, grammar checklists, and graphic organizers.

3. Speaking S 5.1 Recall and use sufficient oral vocabulary (range of common, vocabulary related to personal experience and everyday activities, some idioms) as well as control of basic grammar and a variety of sentence types and registers in a range of familiar to somewhat unfamiliar or unpredictable communication tasks. S 5.2 Select from a range of strategies (such as elaborating with some detail and examples determining most important/right amount of information and content to convey) to select, organize, and relay information. S 5.3 Apply a range of strategies (including attention to appropriate register, repetition of information, adjustments in pace, tone, volume, eye contact, body language based on listener’s response and needs) to monitor and enhance effectiveness of communication and to meet the speaking purpose.

4. Listening L 5.1 Understand and respond appropriately to extended explanations and narratives, detailed instructions, and complex conversations requiring adapting one’s response to varied speakers and contexts when language is not adjusted for English language learners. L 5.2 Effectively use a wide range of strategies to repair gaps in understanding and give feedback, tailoring the response to the purpose of the communication, the audience, the level of formality of the situation and other socio-cultural factors. L 5.3 Apply linguistic, socio-cultural, and other background knowledge and strategies (such as comparing, integrating, and categorizing information for others) to understand fully the literal and implied intent of the speaker, to respond appropriately, and to meet the listening purpose.

5. Goals G 5.1 Set educational goals as they relate to their roles as workers, citizens, and family members report progress on these goals and revise and update them quarterly.
