Sooner Standards
For Oklahoma ninth graders, the academic landscape holds exciting new challenges. In language arts, their voices take center stage as they engage in constructive conversations, analyze diverse texts, and refine their writing skills. Collaboratively exploring how genres influence meaning, they delve deeper into literature and informational content, uncovering the author’s perspective and the power of language in shaping tone and mood.
Mastering argumentation becomes a key focus. Students not only identify bias and logical fallacies but also build their persuasive tools, supporting their analysis with evidence and citations. The writing journey expands, embracing narrative, informative, and argumentative modes with flexibility, tailoring each piece to its specific audience and purpose. Vocabulary blossoms, fueled by knowledge of Anglo-Saxon, Greek, and Latin roots, unlocking the doors to complex word meanings. The intentional use of parallel structure adds polish and clarity to their written expression.
Research skills leap forward. Crafting clear and defensible thesis statements, students navigate the world of information, presenting their findings with confidence in both short and long formats. Seamlessly weaving quoted material with ellipses and brackets demonstrates their growing mastery of academic integrity. This newfound nuance extends to their creative pursuits, as multimodal content flourishes and independent reading and writing preferences solidify, solidifying their unique voices within the literary landscape.
