materials: Practical/ functional texts: Procedures/instructions, announcements, invitations, book orders, recipes, menus, advertisements, pamphlets, etc. TEXT
COMPLEXITY DESCRIPTORS ~Includes a
range of literary selections, such as full-length novels,
well-crafted short stories (with increasingly diverse characters
and settings), historical fiction and myths. ~Includes more
complex informational/functional texts, such as persuasive
essays, procedural “how to” guides, scientific and
historical summaries (e.g., textbooks). ~More varied and
challenging vocabulary, including use of figurative language
(idioms, metaphors) and analogies. Some technical terms. ~Language in
narrative text includes dialect and other linguistic variants to
enhance characterization and setting. ~Ideas and
content increase in number and density. Relationships between
ideas become more complex (e.g. flashback may be introduced) in
narrative text; graphs and charts are needed to convey key
information in expository text. ~Content
requires general background knowledge. Underlying themes become
more complex and more universal. ~Interrelationships
among story elements become more complex and require more
interpretation. Literary elements include flashback, humor,
suspense, personification, and exaggeration. ~Informational and functional texts use a
variety of formats, illustrations, and graphics to support
understanding. Text features include chapter headings,
glossaries, punctuation guides. SAMPLE TEXTS AT THE END OF GRADE 6: True
