The Speaking and Listening Standards are Keys to Learning ACROSS the Curriculum

Comprehension and Collaboration

SL.5.1 Engage effectively in a range of collaborative discussions (one-on-one, in groups, and teacher-led) with diverse partners on grade 5 topics and texts, building on others’ ideas and expressing their own clearly.

__SL.5.1a Come to discussions prepared, having read or studied required material; explicitly draw on that preparation and other information known about the topic to explore ideas under discussion.

__SL.5.1b Follow agreed-upon rules for discussions and carry out assigned roles.

__SL.5.1c Pose and respond to specific questions by making comments that contribute to the discussion and elaborate on the remarks of others.

__SL.5.1d Review the key ideas expressed and draw conclusions in light of information and knowledge gained from the discussions.

SL.5.2 Summarize a written text read aloud or information presented in diverse media and formats, including visually, quantitatively, and orally.

SL.5.3 Summarize the points a speaker makes and explain how each claim is supported by reasons and evidence.

Presentation of Knowledge and Ideas

SL.5.4 Report on a topic or text or present an opinion, sequencing ideas logically and using appropriate facts and relevant, descriptive details to support main ideas or themes; speak clearly at an understandable pace.

SL.5.5 Include multimedia components (e.g., graphics, sound) and visual displays in presentations when appropriate to enhance the development of main ideas or themes.

SL.5.6 Adapt speech to a variety of contexts and tasks, using formal English when appropriate to task and situation.

Students exercise Speaking and Listening competencies as they proceed through the gradual release of responsibility.

LANGUAGE Fifth GradeThese lists are set up with lines so that you can set your students’ learning priorities for this quarter. Students also can use these lists to set and record progress.

CONVENTIONS IN WRITING AND SPEAKING 1. Observe conventions of grammar and usage.

__a. Form and use the perfect (e.g., I had walked, I have walked, I will have walked) verb aspects.

__b. Recognize and correct inappropriate shifts in verb tense and aspect.* 2. Observe conventions of capitalization, punctuation, and spelling.

__a. Use punctuation to separate items in a series.*__b. Use a comma to separate an introductory element from the rest of the

sentence.__c. Use underlining, quotation marks, or italics to indicate titles of works.__d. Spell grade-appropriate words correctly, consulting references as needed.

3. Make effective language choices.__a. Expand, combine, and reduce sentences for meaning, reader/listener

interest, and style.*VOCABULARY ACQUISITION AND USE

4. Determine word meanings (based on grade 5 reading).__a. Determine or clarify the meaning of unknown or multiple-meaning words

through the use of one or more strategies, such as using semantic clues (e.g., definitions, examples, or restatements in text); using syntactic clues (e.g., the word’s position or function in the sentence); analyzing the word’s sounds, spelling, and meaningful parts; and consulting reference materials, both print and digital.

__b. Use a known root word as a clue to the meaning of an unknown word with the same root (e.g., photograph, photosynthesis).

__c. Interpret figurative language, including similes and metaphors.__d. Explain the meaning of common idioms, adages, and proverbs.

5. Understand word relationships.__a. Build real-life connections between words and their various uses and

meanings.__b. Define relationships between words (e.g., how smirk is like and unlike smile;

what items are likely to be vast).__c. Distinguish a word from other words with similar but not identical meanings

(synonyms). 6. Use grade-appropriate general academic vocabulary and domain-specific

words and phrases (in English language arts, history/social studies, and science) taught directly and acquired through reading and responding to texts.

* Conventions standards noted with an asterisk (*) need to be revisited by students in subsequent grades as their writing and speaking grows in sophistication.
