SELAC: Secondary English Language Arts Curriculum Initiative (OER for ELA)
2021-2022: Year 3 Continued...
School Year 2019-2020 was officially Year 3 of our OER for ELA Initiative, but because of school closures in March 2020 and the subsequent disruption to normal school business during 2020-2021, we are resuming the work started in Year 3 during the 2021-22 SY.

(note new questions about unit focus on ELOs, skills, genres, to meet gaps in Curriculum Map.)
Going forward on all new units, the following is required:
In the “Anchor Text” and “Teaching Resources” area of template, (as well as in Sequencing Guide, when appropriate) include both:
