## 1. English language arts

- [Speaking Formally and Giving Presentations](https://ai.page/c/speaking-formally-and-giving-presentations/index.md): Use Standard English confidently in formal and informal spoken contexts — give short speeches and presentations expressing own ideas clearly, keeping to the point, and adapting register and vocabulary to the audience
- [Asking Questions](https://ai.page/c/asking-questions/index.md): Ask relevant questions to extend understanding; ask and answer questions to seek help, get information, or clarify something not understood
- [Tracing Theme Across a Text](https://ai.page/c/tracing-theme-across-a-text/index.md): Determine and analyse the theme or central idea of a text, trace how it develops across the text through key details and events, and provide an objective summary distinct from personal opinion
- [Vocabulary Strategies](https://ai.page/c/vocabulary-strategies/index.md): Determine the meaning of unknown and multiple-meaning words and phrases using a flexible range of strategies — including context clues, Greek and Latin affixes and roots, reference materials, and verification of inferred meaning
- [Wide Independent Reading Across Genres](https://ai.page/c/wide-independent-reading-across-genres/index.md): Read widely and independently across fiction and non-fiction — including whole novels, short stories, plays, poetry, and non-fiction from different genres, periods, and cultures — building stamina, breadth, and personal taste as a reader
- [Literary and Language Terminology](https://ai.page/c/literary-and-language-terminology/index.md): Discuss reading, writing, and spoken language with precise and confident use of linguistic and literary terminology — including terms for word classes, sentence types, clause types, literary devices, and text-level features
- [Planning, Revising and Editing Writing](https://ai.page/c/planning-revising-and-editing-writing/index.md): Plan, revise, and edit writing to improve coherence and effectiveness — considering how the writing reflects its intended audience and purpose, amending vocabulary, grammar, and structure, and proofreading for accurate spelling, punctuation, and grammar
- [Writing Across Genres](https://ai.page/c/writing-across-genres/index.md): Write for a range of purposes and audiences beyond narrative — including scripts, poetry, personal and formal letters, notes for talks, and other forms — selecting the appropriate form, register, and conventions for each
