  ELPS.C.1.b Monitor oral and written language production and employ
self-corrective techniques or other resources.
 ELPS.C.2.b Recognize elements of the English sound system in newly
acquired vocabulary such as long and short vowels, silent letters, and
consonant clusters.
 ELPS.C.3.b Expand and internalize initial English vocabulary by learning
and using high-frequency English words necessary for identifying and
describing people, places, and objects, by retelling simple stories and
basic information represented or supported by pictures, and by learning
and using routine language needed for classroom communication.
 ELPS C.1.d Speak using learning strategies such as requesting
assistance, employing non-verbal cues, and using synonyms and
circumlocution (conveying ideas by defining or describing when exact
English word are not known).
 ELPS C.2.a Distinguish sounds and intonation patterns of English with
increasing ease.
 ELPS C.3.a Practice producing sounds of newly acquired vocabulary
such as long and short vowels, silent letters, and consonant clusters to
pronounce English words in a manner that is increasingly
comprehensible.
 ELPS C.1.f Use accessible language and learn new and essential
language in the process.
 ELPS C.2.c Learn new language structures, expressions, and basic and
academic vocabulary heard during classroom instruction and interactions.
 ELPS C.3.c Speak using a variety of grammatical structures, sentence
lengths, sentence types, and connecting words with increasing accuracy
and ease as more English is learned.

 CCRS VIII.C.1 Understand the fundamental concepts of kinematics.

 CCRS VIII.C.2 Understand forces and Newton’s Laws
 CCRS VIII.A. Understand Concurrent and Resultant Forces.
