ELD Unit Page: Overview
The Designated ELD Unit Overview page follows the same structure as the ELA Unit Overview, but with the following differences.
Element | ELA Course | D-ELD Course |
Standards displayed | CA CCSS for ELA standards tags + ELD Standards | CA ELD Standards tags (e.g., ELD 6.I.A.3, ELD 6.II.B.4) |
Performance Task badge | Shown on the Overview page | Shown on the Overview page; The D-ELD Performance Task type specifically reflects D-ELD language production goals (e.g., Process Explanation) |
Unit Context panels | Knowledge-Building Topic, I’m Learning About, Knowledge Goals, Knowledge Building Questions, Essential Questions | Knowledge-Building Topic, I’m Learning About, Language Goals, Language Analysis and Use, Essential Questions |
Unit Texts tabs | Anchor Text, Independent Reading | Anchor Text |
Language Goals state what students will be able to do with language by the end of the unit, expressed as observable, teacher-facing learning outcomes. Language Analysis and Use poses the metalinguistic questions the unit investigates, framing the specific language features students will analyze in mentor texts and apply in their own speech and writing.
Note
The Designated ELD course shares the same anchor texts as the parallel ELA course. However, the D-ELD Unit Texts section does not include an Independent Reading tab.
ELD Unit Page: Additional Resources
The Designated ELD Additional Resources page displays downloadable materials in the same format as the ELA course, a paginated grid of PDFs with individual Preview links and a “Download all Materials” option.
