As a way to support teachers with English Language Arts (ELA) instruction during the pandemic, the NCDPI ELA team created choice boards featuring standards-aligned ELA activities.The intended purpose of these choice boards is to provide a way for students to continue standards-based learning while schools are closed. Each activity can be adapted and modified to be completed with or without the use of digital tools. Many activities can also be repeated with different texts. These standards-based activities are meant to be a low-stress approach to reinforcing and enriching the skills learned during the 2019-2020 school year. The choice boards are to be used flexibly by teachers, parents, and students in order to meet the unique needs of each learner.Exploration activities are provided for a more self-directed or guided approach to independent learning for students. These activities and sites should be used as a way to explore concepts, topics, skills, and social and emotional competencies that interest the learner. 

For this task, students demonstrate their understanding of the convention of punctuation in written compositions.

This lesson is an introduction to the term of poverty. The students will begin with creating a Think Tank on poverty. After the creation of their Think Tank, we will share the vocabulary that was developed. Using the most often shared vocabulary, we will use these words to build a meaning and understanding of poverty. This lesson is based on poverty and music with a direct connection to math, science, technology, engineering, arts, and multiple media skills. The teacher will present a self-assessment for the students to monitor their progress at the conclusion of each lesson. *If instructor will need to purchase and watch the entire Landfill Harmonic video personally in order to complete the entirety of this unit. Ths lesson will conclude with a clip from the movie, "landfill harmonic". This lesson was developed by Christine Sisco as part of their completion of the North Carolina Global Educator Digital Badge program. This lesson plan has been vetted at the local and state level for standards alignment, Global Education focus, and content accuracy.

This lesson strand is two in a series of two lessons that go through the steps of the Engineering and Design Process as needed for the construction of a prototype. The prototype is a musical instrument created through recycling landfill items. Based on the Landfill Harmonic from Paraguay, the motivation for the unit is GEDB: Music and Poverty- The Landfill Harmonic. The students in Paraguay (Latin America) live in a landfill and use the items to develop an orchestra. The unit clearly defines poverty and the resourcefulness that one must meet when living in a poverty culture. This prototype is the final product of a cross curricular, multicultural unit based on poverty and music with a direct connection to math, science, technology, engineering, arts, and multiple media skills. The links attached are created addressing the Landfill Harmonic. This lesson was developed by Christine Sisco as part of their completion of the North Carolina Global Educator Digital Badge program. This lesson plan has been vetted at the local and state level for standards alignment, Global Education focus, and content accuracy.
