SAUSD Curriculum Map 2013-14 DRAFT 1
These curriculum maps are designed to address CCSS Literacy outcomes. The overarching focus for all curriculum maps is building
student's content knowledge and literacy skills as they develop knowledge about the world.
Each unit provides
several weeks of instruction. Each unit also includes various formative and summative assessments.
Taken as a whole,
this curriculum map is designed to give teachers recommendations and some concrete strategies to address the
shifts required by CCSS.
Building
knowledge through content-rich nonfiction
SAUSD's approach emphasizes effective literacy instruction integrated with content knowledge to engage
students and promote inquiry. The texts are sequenced around a topic leading to the big idea and essential
questions in order to provide a clear and explicit purpose for instruction.
Curriculum includes a rich variety of texts, including literature, nonfiction, media, primary sources, visuals.
Curriculum is based in part on what resources teachers likely already have, but also includes additional
authentic texts needed to craft a coherent learning progression within and among grade levels.
The curriculum includes literacy standards, but these enhance rather than replace the currently adopted
content area standards in Science and Social Science.
Reading,
writing, and speaking grounded in evidence from text, both literary and informational
SAUSD's approach emphasizes working with evidence, including students self-assessing, learning to ask strong
text-dependent strategic questions as they read. It emphasizes performance tasks that require students to cite
textual evidence, to revise and reflect on their own writing as well as their peers' writing. It emphasizes students
building expertise about a topic and often sharing that expertise with classmates or a wider audience.
Throughout instruction, students are asked to return to the text through sequenced, rich, and rigorous evidence based questioning, discussions, and varied, engaging tasks.
Students write routinely, including a balance of on-demand and process writing. Students will draw
evidence from texts to produce clear and coherent writing that informs, explains, or makes an argument in
various written forms.
All end-of-unit performance tasks directly build on the reading students have been doing in the unit. Many are designed to build students' engagement by asking them to do a more real-world task.
Performance tasks may include narratives, but emphasize informative and argumentative writing. SAUSD Common Core Aligned Curriculum Map: ELA Grade 11 Semester 1
SAUSD Curriculum Map 2013-14 DRAFT 2
Regular
practice with complex text and its academic language
SAUSD's approach emphasizes active reading of complex texts by all students. Students will read a progression
of complex texts and focus on building academic language and syntax in context.
Texts are chosen to reflect a variety of factors: Lexile level, complexity of the topic/concept, the
appropriateness of the text given the specific literacy standard or task.
Texts cultivate students' interests, are relevant to their culture, and engage them in reading, writing, and
speaking.
Curriculum directly address supports for meeting the needs of a wide range of learners in order for every
student to become a more proficient and independent reade r. Curriculum emphasizes academic and domain specific vocabulary as well as other words ELLs or other struggling readers might not know Curriculum strongly emphasize teaching students how to figure out words in context.
Students are expected to do regular independent reading to build on concepts and ideas in each unit.
Research shows that students must read a high volume of text at their reading level in order to build a
strong vocabulary. SAUSD Common Core Aligned Curriculum Map: ELA Grade 11 Semester 1

How to Read this Document
The purpose of this document is to provide a high-level summary of each unit and name the standards each unit addresses.
First, read each module overview paragraph. This describes the purpose for the unit the connections with previous and
subsequent units. On the map, note the titles across the year: These show the progression of literacy skills. Note the distinction between standards "across units" vs. "central to this unit." o
Standards labeled "across units" are foundational to the CCSS shifts, and therefore are taught early and reinforced
through the year. o Standards "central to this unit" are the focus for that specific unit. o Standards formally assessed are in bold. Text: Bold indicates the core text(s) for the unit.
Grade: 11 Fall Semester
