VA SOL Essential Knowledge To be successful with this standard, students are expected to: Use appropriate facial expressions and gestures or motions to add to what is being said; use proper posture and stance when speaking; match vocabulary, tone and volume to the audience, purpose, and topic of the message; understand the elements of story, including setting, characters, external conflicts, internal conflicts, plot and theme; use graphic organizers; understand and analyze elements of an author’s style, including word choice, sentence structure and language patters; imagery, and figurative language; use strategies for summarizing; organize and synthesize information with tools; use a variety of prewriting strategies; and use written expression to draft and revise compositions with attention to voice, tone, selection of information, embedded phrases and clauses that clarify meaning; vivid and precise vocabulary, Technology NETS-S Performance Integration Strategies Indicators Using a broad theme that has applicability for 7 th grade students, such as the meaning of heroism or the conflict between group and personal responsibility, develop a reading list that provides a wide variety of literary formats. Students should work together in small groups to choose particular pieces from the reading list to read and analyze through the unit. The use of various graphic organizers can later be incorporated into a multimedia presentation. This presentation, made orally to their parents during a special event, should use examples from their readings, incorporate literary analysis based on form, and provide an opinion or insight developed by the students on the chosen topic. They may use personifications of fictional characters or real people and/or authors to illustrate their points. Exhibit legal and ethical behaviors when using information and technology, and discuss consequences of misuse. Apply productivity/ multimedia tools and peripherals to support personal productivity, group collaboration, and learning throughout the curriculum. Design, develop, publish, and present products e.g., Web pages, videotapes using technology resources that demonstrate and communicate curriculum concepts to audiences inside and outside the classroom. 12
