LANGUAGE ARTS:

W.GN.07.02 Write a research report (e.g., I-search, website, traditional) for an authentic audience that includes appropriate organizational patterns (e.g., problem statement and solution, position statement and supporting evidence, compare and contrast), descriptive language, and text features.

W.GN.07.03 Formulate research questions using multiple resources, perspectives, and arguments/counterarguments to develop a thesis statement that culminates in a presented, final project.

W.RP.07.01 Set a purpose, consider audience, and replicate authors’ styles and patterns when writing narrative or informational text.

W.RP.07.02 Apply a variety of pre-writing strategies for narrative (e.g., story maps that are designed to depict roles of antagonist and protagonist, internal and external conflict) and informational text (e.g., position statement and supporting evidence, problem statement and solution,, compare/contrast).

W.RP.07.03 Revise their writing to reflect different perspectives for multiple purposes.

W.PS.07.01. Exhibit individual style to enhance the written message (e.g., in narrative text: personification, humor, element of surprise; in informational text: emotional appeal, strong opinion, credible support).

 

 

 

MATH: 

A.PA.07.01 Recognize when information given in a table, graph, or formula suggests a proportional or linear relationship. A.RP.07.02 Represent directly proportional and linear relationships using verbal descriptions, tables, graphs, and formulas, and translate among these representations.

A.PA.07.03 Given a directly proportional or linear situation, graph and interpret the slope and intercept(s) in terms of the original situation; evaluate y = kx for specific x values, given k, e.g., weight vs. volume of water, base cost plus cost per unit.

Explain why and how selected specialized cells are needed by plants and animals.  SCI.III.1.MS.2

Explain how selected systems and processes work together in animals.   SCI.III.2.MS.4
