Third Grade Amplify

The Amplify Third Grade CKLA Units challenge students to apply the ELA skills developed in earlier grades to more complex texts and topics. Students are guided to analyze character traits, make predictions, and identify features of genres in their reading. In their writing, students use more complex sentence structures and paragraphs to state claims or opinions and support their perspective with evidence. Across the units, students engage with the idea of how geography impacts the way people live. From meeting basic needs, to developing cultural traditions, to the growth of major civilizations, students investigate how humans make sense of, and make use of, their environments. Moose x Amplify builds on those connections through lessons on a range of topics including New Hampshire wildlife, Abenaki culture, and the first colonial settlements along the seacoast.
