JOT2_Task1__.docx    JOT2  6th Grade Labeling Parts of Speech  Assessment Code: JOT2 Task 1  Title of Paper  Instructional Setting and Content Area  The instructional setting for this problem I will be using is my 3rd block 6th grade Language Arts class of nine students who are all classified as High Ability Learners (referenced as HAL afterwards) in Reading and Mathematics. Students are appropriately aged at 11-12 years of age in the 6th grade with no identifiable learning disabilities or factors which may inhibit intellectual growth. Students are all residents of a small rural town in Nebraska. All students are classified as “Above Grade-level” in the Wonders curriculum and therefore receive no special services or accommodations.  Instructional Problem  Sixth grade students are struggling with proper identification of basic parts of speech. (For this instructional problem, we are defining basic parts of speech as noun, verb, pronoun, adjective, adverb, conjunction, interjection, and preposition.) Students are not able to categorize parts of speech without devices or supplemental aids to reference.  Instructional Goal Statement  Given 10 sentences, students will be able to demonstrate the basic parts of speech of noun, verb, adjective, adverb, pronoun, conjunction, preposition, and interjections in each sentence by diagramming sentences without using their parts of speech booklets and diagramming guidelines with an 80% or higher level of accuracy.  Requisite Entry-Level Knowledge and Skill
