Choosing an English language development (ELD)program is the most important decision you willmake for your English language learners. A large

number of ELD programs are available, but which programis right for your students? Your answer to this questionwill reflect your own teaching experiences and judgment.In addition, it is imperative to consider the recent,dramatic shift in our knowledge about the languagelearning process. This shift in thinking has criticalimplications for ELD instruction.

Champion incorporates a systematic, structured, and standards-based approachFor many years, researchers believed that studentsacquired a second language in very much the same wayas they acquired their first language. Languageacquisition specialists believed that exposing students tocomprehensible input and engaging students in activitiesusing meaningful language were the keys to languageacquisition.

Researchers and educators today confirm the importanceof this methodology. However, increasingly, they havecome to understand and report that ELD instructionrequires a much more systematic, structured, andstandards-based approach. In other words, every ELDlesson must include a plan and a purpose for thelanguage. Without such a plan and purpose, Englishlearners will not successfully master the language.English learners may be able to communicate socially, buttheir communication will most likely include fossilizedgrammatical errors and be insufficient for academicsuccess.

Champion follows in the footsteps of Carousel of IDEAS, Fourth EditionThe new Champion program is on the cutting edge of thisshift in thinking. It follows a systematic, structured, andstandards-based approach to teaching language.Champion follows in the footsteps of Ballard & Tighe’sCarousel of IDEAS, Fourth Edition program for elementaryschool students. Like the Carousel program, Championstrikes the perfect balance––providing comprehensibleinput, engaging activities, and opportunities for authenticcommunication, while at the same time facilitating explicitinstruction on important aspects of language.

Champion is based on languageproficiency level, not grade level The Champion program is organized according tolanguage level because language development isincremental. In the Champion program, you will startinstruction for beginning English learners with Chapter 1whether these beginning students are in 6th grade or12th grade. These students need to learn the samevocabulary and language forms and functions. Thetopics, vocabulary, and language forms and functions inthe reading selections and learning activities areappropriate for both middle and high school students.

Champion strikes the perfect balance––providingcomprehensible input,engaging activities, andopportunities for authenticcommunication, while at thesame time facilitating explicitinstruction on importantaspects of language.

Why is Champion of IDEASthe right program for your students?

Champion is based on scientific researchand aligned to state ELD standardsChampion is based on scientific research and aligned tomost state ELD standards and many English languagearts (ELA) standards. In addition, Champion highlightstarget language functions and correspondinggrammatical forms in each lesson, helping teachers focuson the language learning objectives that are critical forstudents’ academic success.

Overview

Overview

Each lesson includes language objectives forstudents.

The WARM-UP section of this lesson focuses on the following three reading objectives:

R1: Apply reading skills from their first language to recognize and comprehend various textstructures and print conventions from multiple sources.

R4: Read aloud simple words presented in literature and content areas; demonstrate comprehensionby using one or two words or simple sentence responses.

R5: Create a simple dictionary of frequently used words and use an English dictionary to derivemeaning of simple known vocabulary.

Each chapter focuses on specific words referred toas “target vocabulary.” Throughout the chapterlessons, students learn and use the targetvocabulary in listening, speaking, reading, andwriting activities.

Throughout the chapter, students also encounteracademic language in authentic contexts. Thisacademic language is recycled throughout theprogram.

Prose, Poetry, and Drama: Examining GenresBy Michelle Chew

The word literature refers to the stories of a language, culture, or time period. Literaturecan be divided into three main types or genres: prose, poetry, and drama. Each maingenre can be further divided into subgenres. Each genre has certain characteristics thatdistinguish it from others.

25Prose, Poetry, and Drama

PART 1: PROSEProse: The Language of Everyday SpeechProse is writing that tries to mirror the language of everyday speech. It consists ofsentences grouped into paragraphs that together form a meaningful piece of writing.There are two main types of prose: fiction and nonfiction. Fiction refers to any storythat is created from an author’s imagination. Nonfiction is a story or account ofsomething that is based on fact.

Nonfiction: Based on FactSome subgenres of nonfiction prose are textbooks, essays,news stories, and biographies. These types of writings arguefor an idea. They try to convince readers to do something orexplain and analyze information. For example, essays areshort pieces of prose that discuss a subject from the author’spoint of view. Biographies give detailed accounts of a person’slife story. Bettina Ling’s book Maya Lin is a biography aboutthe woman who designed important national memorials in theUnited States. This is an excerpt, or part, of Ling’s book:

Maya was born in Athens, on October 5, 1959. Herparents were Chinese immigrants (people who move toanother country to live permanently). Maya’s mother,Julia Chang Lin, was born in Shanghai, China. Herfather, Henry Huan Lin, came from a very distinguishedfamily of anti-Communist politicians and thinkers in Beijing, China.

Nonfiction authors like Ling frequently use literal language. This is language that isaccurate, truthful, and direct. In comparison, fiction writers commonly use figurativelanguage—such as similes, irony, and symbolism—to create images that appeal to readers’ imaginations.

� This photograph, taken in 1989,shows Maya Lin working in herstudio. One of her most famousdesigns was for the VietnamVeterans Memorial inWashington, D.C.

26 Unit 5 � Chapter 18

Fiction: Based on ImaginationWhile nonfiction is based on fact, fiction comes from an author’s imagination. Forexample, Jack London’s The Call of the Wild is an imaginative story about theadventures of a dog named Buck. The author tells the story from Buck’s point of viewand helps readers to imagine what the dog might think or feel. This is an excerpt fromThe Call of the Wild:

[Buck] knew how to take advantage of every cover, to crawl on his belly like asnake, and like a snake to leap and strike.

In this excerpt, the author uses a simile to show how Buck’s movements are careful andquick. Similes compare two things—for example, Buck and a snake—using the wordlike or as. Fiction writers often invent people, places, and situations that do not exist inthe real world. To make these things believable, authors use words to create a picturein readers’ minds. This literary technique is called imagery. Imagery gives readers anidea of how something looks, smells, tastes, sounds, and feels. Similes are a type ofimagery often used in fiction.

27Prose, Poetry, and Drama

Five Elements of FictionFiction has five key elements or characteristics: characterization, plot, setting, theme,and style. First, a work of fiction should have vivid, believable characters, especiallythe main character. The “I,” or person who tells the story, is the narrator. Thenarrator is not necessarily the author and may be a character in the story. Forexample, F. Scott Fitzgerald wrote the classic novel called The Great Gatsby; however,a character in the book named Nick Carraway narrated the story. Second, the plot ishow the events of a story are organized, usually with a beginning, a middle, and anending. Third, the setting refers to the time and place where the story takes place.For example, The Great Gatsby is set in Long Island and New York City during theearly 1920s. Fourth, the theme is the central idea of a story. For example, the themeof The Great Gatsby is about trying to achieve the American dream. Fifth, the author’sunique narrative style is the way in which he or she tells the story.

Elements of Fiction

Characterization:what the characters in the story are like

Plot: how the events of the story are organized

Setting: where and when the story takes place

Theme:the central idea of the story

Style: the way the author tells the story

� There are five key elements of fiction: characterization, plot, setting, theme, and style.

28 Unit 5 � Chapter 18

Types of Fiction: Fairy Tales, Fables, Folktales, Legends, Tall Tales, and Historical FictionFairy tales, fables, folktales, legends, and tall tales are traditional forms of fiction. Fairytales are about magical beings like fairies, elves, and goblins and have happy endings.Fables use allegory to give a moral lesson. Allegory is when characters are used torepresent things or ideas. Authors use allegory in order to teach what is right andwrong. Authors also use personification, which means to give a non-human thing in astory the ability to speak, feel, and act like a human being.

Antoine de Saint-Exupéry’s fable The Little Prince uses both allegory andpersonification. In the excerpt below, a flower is preparing to talk to the little prince.The flower represents a person who flirts a lot and wants a great deal of attention fromothers:

The flower continued her beauty preparations in the shelter of her green chamber, selecting her colors with the greatestcare and dressing quite deliberately, adjusting her petals oneby one. … And then one morning, precisely at sunrise, sheshowed herself.

And after having labored so painstakingly, she yawned and said [to the little prince], “Ah! I’m hardly awake … Forgiveme … I’m still all untidy … ”

By personifying the flower and other objects and animals in The Little Prince, the authormakes the story an allegory to teach about human nature. Antoine de Saint-Exupéryalso uses symbolism in The Little Prince. Symbolism is using one thing to representanother. For example, the speeding trains in The Little Prince represent people who areso busy trying to improve their lives that they do not appreciate what they already have.

29Prose, Poetry, and Drama

Fairy tales and fables are often based on folktales—storiesthat were originally shared by word-of-mouth among a group ofpeople. Folktales are passed orally from generation togeneration until they are written down. Stories like“Cinderella” and “Beauty and the Beast” are folktales fromdifferent parts of Europe. Folktales, especially tall tales, alsoare an important part of American literature. Tall tales arehumorous stories that use hyperbole or exaggeration to showfamous people—real or imaginary—doing clever or impossiblethings. For example, the giant lumberjack Paul Bunyan is amythical figure who was so strong that he dug the GrandCanyon by dragging his axe behind him.

Legends—traditional stories about people and places fromthe past that may or may not be true—are another type offolktale. The Mightiest Heart is a legend written by Lynn Cullen. It is about PrinceLlywelyn and his faithful dog Gelert who lived 800 years ago in a country called Wales.Although some elements may be factual, legends are considered fiction because the peopleand events took place so long ago that they often cannot be proven. At the end of TheMightiest Heart, the author writes:

In the mountains of Snowdonia there is an actual grave marking the resting place of Prince Llywelyn’s loyal wolfhound, Gelert. …

But is the story of Gelert true? In Wales, truth can be likethe mountains, silent and unmovable. Or it can be like thebrooks that trickle through the mountains—ever sparkling,ever changing, ever slipping into time.

� Early American settlers toldtall tales about the giantman Paul Bunyan.

30 Unit 5 � Chapter 18

Tall tales and legends are examples of how the characters and events in fiction maybe based on real life even if the story itself is made up. Historical fiction is a modernsubgenre of fiction involving people and events set in a particular period of history.Although fictional, historical fiction tries to include accurate details of that time period.For example, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn takes place along the Mississippi Riverduring the mid-nineteenth century when slavery was still allowed in the South. Jim is arunaway slave whom Huckleberry Finn befriends. Here is an excerpt from the book inwhich Jim tells Huck that he ran away from his owner:

[Jim] looked pretty uneasy, and didn’t say nothing for a minute. Then he says:“Maybe I better not tell.”“Why, Jim?”“Well, dey’s reasons. But you wouldn’ tell on me ef I ’uz

to tell you, would you, Huck?”“Blamed if I would, Jim.”“Well, I b’lieve you, Huck. I—I run off.”“Jim!”“But mind, you said you wouldn’ tell … , Huck.”“Well, I did. I said I wouldn’t, and I’ll stick to it. … I ain’t agoing to tell, and

I ain’t agoing back there anyways. So now, le’s know all about it.”

By making the characters speak the way that peoplefrom that place and time spoke, the author MarkTwain helps the reader understand what life waslike during that period in history.

31Prose, Poetry, and Drama

Types of Fiction: Fantasy and Science FictionWhile historical fiction is set in the real world, fantasy and science fiction take place inimaginary settings. Magic and supernatural beings—such as angels, monsters, and elves—are key elements in fantasy. Compared with fairy tales, fantasies are longer and moreserious and complex, and they may not have happy endings. The Lord of the Rings byJ.R.R. Tolkien and the Harry Potter series by J.K. Rowling are examples of fantasyliterature. While fantasy is often based on what is impossible in the real world, sciencefiction is based on what may be possible through advances in science and technology.Science fiction is set in the future, in outer space, or in alternative worlds created by the author.

Length and Complexity of Fiction: Novels, Novellas, and Short StoriesProse fiction can be divided into subgenres based on length and complexity. Novels are atleast 50,000 words long with well-developed characters, plot, setting, theme, and style.The Call of the Wild, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, and The Great Gatsby are all novels. A novella has about 20,000 to 40,000 words, which is shorter than a novel. Novellas allowauthors to explore and develop the characters and themes more fullythan in short stories. American author Ernest Hemingway’s The Old

Man and the Sea and English writer George Orwell’s Animal Farm areexamples of novellas. Short stories are shorter and more focused thannovellas. They usually involve one main character and event. GarySoto is an author of many short stories that are based on his life as aMexican American boy growing up in Fresno, California. His shortstory called “Broken Chain” is about a young boy named Alfonso whois getting ready for his first date. Here is an excerpt from the story:

At four he decided to get it over with and started walking toSandra’s house, trudging slowly, as if he were waist-deep inwater. Shame colored his face. How could he disappoint hisfirst date? She would probably laugh. She might even call him menso [foolish].

� Gary Soto is a famouspoet, essayist, andfiction writer.“Broken Chain” isincluded in his bookof short stories calledBaseball in April.

32 Unit 5 � Chapter 18

PART 2: POETRY AND DRAMAPoetry: Written in Verse FormPoetry is the second main literary genre. Poetry has three main subgenres: epic, lyric,and dramatic poems. Epic poems are long poems that tell about a great hero. Lyricpoems express a poet’s feelings and have the characteristics of a song. Dramatic poemsare intended to be spoken aloud in front of an audience.

In contrast to prose, poetry is written in verse form and broken up into lines. Inprose, sentences are organized into sections called paragraphs. In poems, lines areorganized into sections called stanzas. Each stanza may contain a different idea. Astanza consists of lines grouped together according to rhyming pattern, rhythm, andlength.

Many, but not all poems, rhyme. Poems that do not rhyme are called blank verse.Rhythm is the pattern of how sounds are repeated, depending on the number of

syllables and the emphasis on eachsyllable. For example, read the openingline of Maya Angelou’s poem “On thePulse of Morning”:

A Rock, A River, A Tree.

In this line, all the A’s are unstressed,and the words “Rock,” “River,” and“Tree” are stressed. This pattern of anunstressed syllable followed by astressed syllable creates the rhythm ofthe poem. “On the Pulse of Morning” isan example of a lyric poem.

33Prose, Poetry, and Drama

Lines in a poem may or may not finish at the end of a sentence. By beginning andending the line of a poem in a certain way, the poet emphasizes certain words and creates arhythm and flow for the reading. This is the last stanza of the same poem by MayaAngelou:

Here on the pulse of this new day [1]You may have the grace to look up and out [2]And into your sister’s eyes, [3]And into your brother’s face, [4]Your country, [5]And say simply [6]Very simply [7]With hope— [8]Good morning. [9]

This stanza is actually one long sentence broken up into a number of lines. Some sourcesbreak this poem into nine lines (shown here), and others break it into eight lines. Breakingup a sentence like this gives the reader visual clues about how to read the poem. It also

helps communicate the poet’s ideas.Maya Angelou wrote this poem for the1993 inauguration of William JeffersonClinton as the 42nd president of theUnited States.

34 Unit 5 � Chapter 18

Drama: Spoken AloudDrama is the third main literary genre. Dramatic literature is meant to be spoken aloudor performed by actors on a stage and watched by an audience. Until the 1800s, themost common form of drama in Europe was written in verse. This means thecharacters speak lines that have the form and rhythm of poetry. The plays of WilliamShakespeare from the 1500s and 1600s are written as dramatic poems.

Tragedy and ComedyTragedy and comedy are two types of drama. Tragedies are serious stories about ahero or great person who arrives at an unhappy ending. For example, in WilliamShakespeare’s play Julius Caesar, the character Brutus does what he thinks is right, buthe ultimately faces an unhappy ending. This is called irony: when something happensin a story opposite to what is expected.

Comedies are humorous plays with happy endings. Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night is acomedy in which some characters pretend to be someone else. Much of the humorcomes from the characters’ mistaken identities and the use of dramatic irony. Dramaticirony occurs when the audience or reader knows something that the characters do notknow.

Shakespeare also uses metaphors to express ideas. At the beginning of TwelfthNight, one of the characters, Orsino, listens to his musicians playing and talks about hisfeelings for Olivia, another character:

If music be the food of love, play on,Give me excess of it, that, surfeiting,The appetite may sicken, and so die.

In this metaphor, the idea of love dying from overfeeding is expressed through theeffective image of music as food.

36 Unit 5 � Chapter 18

While Shakespeare wrote his plays in blank verse and other poetic forms, modernplaywrights often use the everyday language of prose. For example, the following is anexcerpt from American playwright Arthur Miller’s play Death of a Salesman. This play isabout one man’s struggles with his career and family relationships. In the excerptbelow, Willy, the main character, is talking to another character, Howard:

WILLY, desperately: Just let me tell you a story, Howard—

HOWARD: ’Cause you gotta admit, business is business.

WILLY, angrily: Business is definitely business, but just listen for a minute. Youdon’t understand this. When I was a boy—eighteen, nineteen— I was already onthe road. And there was a question in my mind as to whether selling had a futurefor me. Because in those days I had a yearning to go to Alaska. See, there werethree gold strikes in one month in Alaska, and I felt like going out. Just for theride, you might say.

HOWARD, barely interested: Don’t say.

ConclusionProse, poetry, and drama are the three maingenres of literature. Each genre has differentcharacteristics and can be divided into manysubgenres. Sometimes genres overlap, such aswhen nonfiction historical events are mixedwith fictional stories to create the subgenreknown as historical fiction. This shows thatliterature is both creative and ever-changing.
