What Your Fifth Grader Needs to Know de E D Hirsch

What Your Fifth Grader Needs to Know

Autor E D Hirsch, Core Knowledge Foundation
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 27 iun 2006

În literatura educațională contemporană, se observă adesea o lacună între standardele curriculare abstracte și resursele concrete de care dispun părinții pentru a sprijini învățarea acasă. What Your Fifth Grader Needs to Know vine să umple acest gol, oferind un fundament solid de cunoștințe esențiale pe care fiecare elev de clasa a cincea ar trebui să le stăpânească. Considerăm că această ediție revizuită reprezintă o evoluție necesară, aducând un conținut actualizat și o structură vizuală mult mai accesibilă, inclusiv un insert color de 16 pagini care facilitează înțelegerea conceptelor din artele vizuale și științe. Ne-a atras atenția modul în care E D Hirsch și Core Knowledge Foundation reușesc să sintetizeze discipline variate — de la istorie și geografie la muzică și matematică — într-un singur volum coerent. Cititorii familiarizați cu Brain Quest Workbook: 5th Grade (Revised Edition) vor aprecia faptul că, spre deosebire de un caiet de lucru axat pe exerciții repetitive, volumul de față pune accentul pe narațiune și pe contextul cultural, oferind texte de citit și biografii care stimulează curiozitatea intelectuală a copilului. Această lucrare se înscrie organic în traiectoria autorului, continuând misiunea începută în What Your Kindergartner Needs to Know și What Your Fourth Grader Needs to Know. Dacă în Why Knowledge Matters Hirsch argumenta teoretic importanța unui curriculum bogat în fapte, aici vedem aplicarea practică a acelei viziuni. Volumul nu se limitează la fapte izolate, ci construiește o bază de cunoștințe care va servi elevului pe tot parcursul vieții academice, fiind o resursă mult mai densă și structurată decât ghidurile de practică rapidă precum Conquering Fifth Grade.

Extras

Introduction

 This chapter presents poems, stories, and sayings, as well as brief discussions of language and literature.

The best way to introduce children to poetry is to read it to them and encourage them to speak it aloud so they can experience the music of the words. A child’s knowledge of poetry should come first from pleasure and only later from analysis. However, by fifth grade, children are ready to begin learning a few basic terms and concepts, such as metaphor and simile. Such concepts can help children talk about particular effects that enliven the poems they like best.

The stories in this book are excerpts, abridgments, and adaptations of longer works. If a child enjoys a story, he or she should be encouraged to read the larger work. Don Quixote and stories about Sherlock Holmes are available in child-friendly versions as part of the Foundation’s Core Classics series. You can draw children into stories by asking questions about them. For example, you might ask, “What do you think is going to happen next?” or “What might have happened if . . . ?” You might also ask the child to retell them. Don’t be bothered if the child changes events: that is in the best tradition of storytelling and explains why we have so many different versions of traditional stories!

The treatments of grammar and writing in this book are brief overviews. Experts say that our children already know more about grammar than we can ever teach them. But standard written language does have special characteristics that children need to learn. In the classroom, grammar instruction is an essential part, but only a part, of an effective language arts program. Fifth graders should also have frequent opportunities to write and revise their writing –with encouragement and guidance along the way.

For some children, the section on sayings and phrases may not be needed; they will have picked up these sayings by hearing them in everyday speech. But this section will be very useful for children from homes where American English is not spoken.

POETRY

A Wise Old Owl
by Edward Hersey Richards

A wise old owl sat on an oak,
The more he saw the less he spoke;
The less he spoke the more he heard;
Why aren’t we like that wise old bird?


The Eagle
by Alfred, Lord Tennyson

He clasps the crag with crooked hands;
Close to the sun in lonely lands,
Ring’d with the azure world, he stands.

The wrinkled sea beneath him crawls;
He watches from his mountain walls,
And like a thunderbolt he falls.


From Opposites
by Richard Wilbur

What is the opposite of riot?
It’s lots of people keeping quiet.

. . .

What is the opposite of two?
A lonely me, a lonely you.

. . .

The opposite of doughnut? Wait
A minute while I meditate.
This isn’t easy. Ah, I’ve found it!
A cookie with a hole around it.

. . .

The opposite of a cloud could be
A white reflection in the sea,
Or a huge blueness in the air,
Caused by a cloud’s not being there.

. . .

The opposite of opposite?
That’s much too difficult. I quit.


The Road Not Taken
by Rober t Frost

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;

Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,

And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I –
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.
