ELD 3

Course Description: 

ELD 3 is a one period, yearlong course that continues the development of listening, speaking, reading, and writing skills with emphasis on the reading and writing processes. Students communicate ideas and information orally with increased confidence, demonstrating their understanding of various content, using different registers appropriately, and communicating comfortably in English. Students read and write in response to a variety of content, applying knowledge of language to derive meaning from text, and express themselves appropriately for varying audiences and purposes. This course helps students develop appropriate academic language and content knowledge, and encourages critical thinking and problem solving. Course activities and assignments are based on the state-adopted ELA/ELD framework at the bridging level. The adopted curriculum for ELD 3 is Read 180, in which students rotate through time working in a Student Application, in a small group with the teacher, and reading appropriately-leveled books independently.
