The Learning Coach Guide also includes information about each of the units in this course. On each page of unit information, you will discover the following.
CCA wishes you and your learner a terrific school year!
Your role as a Learning Coach is very important. Here are a few ways you can help your learner do their very best in the course.
English 12 explores classic and modern literature across a variety of time periods. Learners consider the historical and biographical factors to understand the works in the context of the writers’ lives and the periods in which they lived. Learners will analyze diverse texts, including short stories, poetry, novels, drama, articles, and personal accounts. Throughout the course, learners will refine their writing skills and practice effective revision as they compose argumentative, explanatory, literary analysis, reflective narrative, and personal narrative pieces.
By the end of the year, your learner will be able to:
This section will help you to understand how your learner’s course is structured in edio.
Lesson Components:
Each day, your learner will spend approximately 60 minutes completing an English 12 lesson. Some days may take less time, while other days may take a little more time. The lesson does not need to be completed in one sitting. Encourage your learner to take short breaks as they need.
Lesson Bundling:
In the English 12 course, your learner will engage in lessons, assignments, projects, quizzes, and unit tests. Within some lessons, there are lesson bundles. A lesson bundle is a collection of lessons that stack up to equal one full class period. On some days, learners will see bundles, such as a Knowledge Check and the daily lesson.
Within the lesson bundles, there are different components your learner will interact with. These components will not be used every day.
1. Getting Started Lesson: There is one Getting Started lesson in this course. It can be found on Day 1 of Unit 1. This lesson includes important information about the course and contact information for your teacher.
2. Unit Overview: Each unit will include a unit overview. This describes what your learner will learn in the unit and how many assessments the unit will have.
3. Prep for Success: At the beginning of each unit, your learner will find a Prep for Success. This component offers learners tips to be successful in the course, such as study tips, important software information, safety reminders, and more.
4. Knowledge Check: There will be one Knowledge Check in each unit. The Knowledge Check is designed to check prior learning and understanding about key skills and concepts that will be taught in the unit. The Knowledge Check is not a graded assessment.
5. Lesson: English 12 lessons are similar to your learner’s other classes. Each informative lesson includes three parts: Engage, Discover, and Show. Some lessons include an Optional: More to Explore section that provides additional information on that day’s topic. Review the information below to learn what to expect within each of these parts of a lesson.
Example of a lesson bundle:
Lesson Structure
Each lesson has its own components to help guide your learner through the lesson.
1. Lesson Overview: At the beginning of every lesson, your learner will see the lesson overview. This section contains lesson objectives, lesson vocabulary, materials your learner will need for the lesson, and the suggested lesson length.
2. Engage: The first section of the lesson is Engage. In this section, your learner will be introduced to the lesson by making a connection to past and present knowledge and will get ready for the lesson’s instruction.
3. Discover: New content and instruction are presented in the Discover section. Your learner will interact with the lesson content through defined vocabulary, videos, audio, and Pause and Think activities. Your learner will be able to practice and answer questions as they work through the lesson.
4. Show: Your learner will demonstrate what they have learned in the lesson through a series of practice questions.
5. Optional: More to Explore: At the end of some lessons, an Optional: More to Explore activity will appear. This activity will introduce your learner to an extension that includes more information about the day’s lesson topic. Your learner may skip the activity and move directly to the lesson summary.
6. Summary: This section recaps the day’s objectives and prepares your learner for a future lesson or assessment.
Assessments
The course includes assignments and projects. These graded assignments allow your learner to show what they have learned and apply their new skills. All CCA assignments and projects include these components.
1. Assessment Overview: At the beginning of each assignment or project, your learner will see the overview. This section contains the goals of the assignment or project, the materials your learner will need, the length of the assignment or project, and the directions for its completion.
2. Plan: In the Plan section, learners will be introduced to the assignment or project. Your learner may be provided with a review of content from previous lessons, strategies for completing the activity, graphic organizers, and grading rubrics.
3. Do: Learners put their plan into action and work to complete the assignment or project successfully. This section also provides the grading expectations and/or rubric the teacher will use to grade the work.
4. Reflect: In Reflect, learners will think back to the work they completed. They will reflect upon the experience and analyze how well they completed the task. These moments of reflection are important and allow learners to think about their learning and their work habits.
The English 12 course is designed to help your learner expand on their ability to analyze texts. This course includes and uses unique features such as:
English Notebook: Learners will use their notebook to read texts, take notes, and complete assignments. Your learner will need their notebook every day.
edioReader :Learners can interact with digital texts through edioReader, an eReader application. Embedded directly in the lesson content, edioReader allows learners to read or listen to digital texts. Learners will be able to interact with each text by using features such as a keyword search, zoom in to increase the font size, take and store notes, highlight the pages, and bookmark their spot in the text. For long-form texts, your learner will be able to choose to read the paper copy of the book that was sent in the curriculum kit, or they can read the online version in edioReader.
