Prior to this unit, in earlier grades, the geographic concepts and the skills taught in this unit were introduced to explain the geography of local communities. In this unit, students apply those geographic concepts and skills to examine the physical and human geography of Texas. They use the concepts and skills to describe the physical and economic landscape of Texas and demonstrate an understanding of the concept of regions, while building an understanding of the variations in Texas geography. Students also view other types of regions of Texas, including political and population. In future units, students come to better understand the impact of geography on events in Texas history. page 1 of 16

Sometimes, this is called a key because it is key to understanding what a map is saying. Symbols a symbol is something which stands for or suggests something else. It can be a visible sign of something which is intangible. Scales a scale indicates the relationship between the distances on a map, chart, or plan and the corresponding actual distances. Examples include 1 inch equals 1 mile.

The English Language Proficiency Standards (ELPS), as required by 19 Texas Administrative Code, Chapter 74, Subchapter A, 74.4, outline English language proficiency level descriptors and student expectations for English language learners (ELLs). School districts are required to implement ELPS as an integral part of each subject in the required curriculum. School districts shall provide instruction in the knowledge and skills of the foundation and enrichment curriculum in a manner that is linguistically accommodated commensurate with the student s levels of English language proficiency to ensure that the student learns the knowledge and skills in the required curriculum. School districts shall provide content-based instruction including the cross-curricular second language acquisition essential knowledge and skills in subsection (c) of the ELPS in a manner that is linguistically accommodated to help the student acquire English language proficiency. ELPS.c.1 ELPS.c.1 ELPS.c.1F ELPS.c.4 Cross-curricular second language acquisition/learning strategies The ELL uses language learning strategies to develop an awareness of his or her own learning processes in all content areas. In order for the ELL to meet grade-level learning expectations across the foundation and enrichment curriculum, all instruction delivered in English must be linguistically accommodated (communicated, sequenced, and scaffolded) commensurate with the student's level of English language proficiency. The student is expected to: use accessible language and learn new and essential language in the process Cross-curricular second language acquisition/reading page 15 of 16

The ELL reads a variety of texts for a variety of purposes with an increasing level of comprehension in all content areas. ELLs may be at the beginning, intermediate, advanced, or advanced high stage of English language acquisition in reading. In order for the ELL to meet grade-level learning expectations across the foundation and enrichment curriculum, all instruction delivered in English must be linguistically accommodated (communicated, sequenced, and scaffolded) commensurate with the student's level of English language proficiency. For Kindergarten and Grade 1, certain of these student expectations apply to text read aloud for students not yet at the stage of decoding written text. The student is expected to: demonstrate comprehension of increasingly complex English by participating in shared reading, retelling or summarizing material, responding to questions, and taking notes commensurate with content area and grade level needs demonstrate English comprehension and expand reading skills by employing basic reading skills such as demonstrating understanding of supporting ideas and details in text and graphic sources, summarizing text, and distinguishing main ideas from details commensurate with content area needs Cross-curricular second language acquisition/writing The ELL writes in a variety of forms with increasing accuracy to effectively address a specific purpose and audience in all content areas. ELLs may be at the beginning, intermediate, advanced, or advanced high stage of English language acquisition in writing. In order for the ELL to meet grade-level learning expectations across foundation and enrichment curriculum, all instruction delivered in English must be linguistically accommodated (communicated, sequenced, and scaffolded) commensurate with the student's level of English language proficiency. For Kindergarten and Grade 1, certain of these student expectations do not apply until the student has reached the stage of generating original written text using a standard writing system. The student is expected to: write using newly acquired basic vocabulary and content-based grade-level vocabulary page 16 of 16
