English I. Teacher's Guide [and Student Workbook]. Revised. Parallel Alternative Strategies for Students (PASS).
Fresen, Sue, Ed.; Goldstein, Jeren, Ed.
This teacher's guide and student workbook are part of a series of content-centered packages of supplemental readings, activities, and methods adapted for secondary students who have disabilities and other students with diverse learning needs. Parallel Alternative Strategies for Students (PASS) materials are designed to help those students succeed in regular education content courses. The content in PASS differs from standards textbooks and workbooks in severy ways: simplified text, smaller units of study, reduced vocabulary level, increased frequency of drill and practice exercises, less cluttered format, and presentation of skills in small, sequential steps. The material is designed to supplement state-adapted textbooks and other instructional materials. Both texts correlate to Florida's Sunshine State Standards and are divided into the following six units of study: (1) reading; (2) writing; (3) taking a second look at writing; (4) listening, viewing, and speaking; (5) literature; and (6) integrating online technology. For each unit, the teacher's guide includes a description of the unit's content and the unit's focus, provides suggestions for enrichment, and contains an assessment to measure student performance. Appendices in the guide contain strategies to facilitate inclusion, a suggested list of the 500 most frequently occurring words on the Scholastic Aptitude Tests, and a chart describing standards and benchmarks. The student workbook contains vocabulary, an explanation of the content, and practice exercises designed to evaluate comprehension. (Contains 33 references.) (CR)
