This 180-day curriculum roadmap is focused on developing WIDA Level 2 proficiency in language skills for students. The learning objective is for students to master the usage of simple and compound sentences, effectively organize their writing with clear introductions, bodies, and conclusions, and apply academic vocabulary, idioms, and collocations in various contexts including social, narrative, informative, explanatory, and argumentative formats. The curriculum is divided into four units: Unit 1 emphasizes social and instructional language through school routines and communication practices. Unit 2 focuses on storytelling, guiding students in constructing narratives with a clear beginning, middle, and end. Units 3 and 4 transition students to informational writing and argumentation, where they learn to organize their topics effectively and support their claims with evidence. The curriculum also includes reflection and goal-setting components, ensuring that students assess their progress in sentence complexity, organizational skills, and argumentation.
