TExES ELAR 7-12 (331) study plan

Map the five language subsystems (phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics, orthography) and write a one-page summary of each with two classroom examples

Transcribe and classify 30 English phonemes using IPA, then predict three common L1-interference errors for Spanish and Vietnamese speakers

Diagram the morphological structure of 25 multisyllabic academic words and label prefix, root, and suffix

Compare first-language acquisition stages with second-language acquisition stages in a two-column chart

Trace the historical development of English from Old to Modern English and identify four spelling-to-sound inconsistencies it produced

Distinguish dialect, register, and code-switching, and write three scenarios where a teacher should validate rather than correct student language

Annotate the ELPS proficiency-level descriptors and match each level to one appropriate scaffold

Preview Domain 2 by sorting ten short excerpts into literary, informational, and argumentative categories with justification

Analyze literary elements (character, setting, plot, point of view, theme, symbolism) in four short works from different genres and periods

Apply close-reading annotation to three complex texts, marking diction, syntax, imagery, and tone shifts

Classify the structure of eight informational texts (compare-contrast, cause-effect, problem-solution, chronological, description, argument)

Evaluate how rhetorical appeals and bias operate in two persuasive texts

Compare thematic treatment of a single idea across two literary periods and cite textual evidence for each

Select 20 literary and rhetorical devices and write a definition plus an original worked example of each

Take a timed 60-question mixed Domain 1-2 practice set and log every missed item by error type

Draft the first essay of the Domain 3 portfolio using a prewriting-to-final-draft cycle

Sequence the stages of the writing process and describe one teacher intervention for each stage

Compose one essay in each of the four modes (narrative, expository, persuasive, analytical) to a 500-word limit

Edit a deliberately flawed sample essay for ten conventions errors and justify each correction with a rule

Build a 6-point analytic rubric with descriptors for ideas, organization, voice, word choice, sentence fluency, and conventions

Distinguish listening purposes and design three classroom activities that assess active listening

Analyze three media messages for source, audience, purpose, and persuasive technique

Format citations for six source types in both MLA and APA and explain the difference in intent

Sequence a research cycle from question formulation through source evaluation, synthesis, and ethical use of information

Align five TEKS student expectations to matching formative and summative assessments in a table

Design three differentiated instructional scaffolds for one lesson targeting below-, on-, and above-grade readers

Interpret a sample running record, a rubric score, and a standardized score report, and write one instructional response to each

Outline a response-to-intervention tier structure and place four sample student profiles within it

Complete two full-length timed practice tests under exam conditions

Re-teach the five highest-frequency error categories from the accumulated error log

Condense all prior deliverables into a 10-page single review sheet

Rehearse the constructed-response format by writing two timed responses to a prompt
