Imagine Learning Guidebooks curriculum

This year, our Tier 1 curriculum is Imagine Learning's Guidebooks. We will work through these units:

• Flowers For Algernon
• Sugar Changed the World
• The Tell-Tale Heart

Achieve 3000 lessons

• In addition to the Guidebooks units, students will be working independently on Achieve 3000 lessons. These lessons are articles that students read, and then answer questions about the articles.
• For my class, students are required to complete 3 Achieve 3000 lessons at 75% or higher per week.
• Students may complete as many lessons beyond the required 3 that they wish. I give rewards to my students for completing more than 3, and there are prizes for those who complete the most lessons.
• Students may access Achieve 3000 from Launchpad and do lessons at home.
• Each term, students receive an Achieve 3000 grade, which is the average of all the Achieve 3000 tests they've taken for that term.

Accelerated Reader

• Accelerated Reader (AR) is a website where students take quizzes on books they've read, and they earn points for correct answers.
• Students are required to earn 9 AR points per term.
• There is an AR grade every term, based on the points earned and the scores students made on their quizzes.
• Students may only take AR quizzes at school.
• To find out how many AR points a book is worth, go to Accelerated Reader Bookfinder US at https://www.arbookfind.com .
