Students organize information through the development and use of classification rules and systems.
This KERA Goal comes into play because in the lesson students will be organizing their writing according to the appropriate rules and systems as well as applying the appropriate rules and systems to their own writing. Students write using appropriate forms, styles, and conventions to communicate ideas and information to different audiences for different purposes. There is a connection made to this specific goal because in learning about the proper use of capital letters and ending punctuation, the students will enhance their written communication to include the appropriate conventions and styles. Students expand their understanding of existing knowledge, by making connections with new knowledge, skills, and experiences. The connection to this goal is the continued acquired knowledge that the students will be gaining to build upon their simple understanding of a sentence and its composition.
