Unit 1 Learning Targets


I'm so glad you are here.

WE ARE CURRENTLY STUDYING:  UNIT 1 - FICTION LITERACY
POWER STANDARDS:
  • RL.8.1 - Cite the textual evidence that most strongly supports an analysis of what the text says explicitly as well as inferences drawn from the text.
  • RL.8.2 - Determine a theme or central idea of a text and analyze its development over the course of the text, including its relationship to the characters, setting, and plot; provide an objective summary of the text.
  • RI.8.2 - Determine a central idea of a text and analyze its development over the course of the text, including its relationship to supporting ideas; provide an objective summary of the text.
ESSENTIAL QUESTIONS:
  • What makes a story worth telling?
  • How does an author develop a main idea over the course of a text?
  • How do I respond to what I read?
OBJECTIVES:  
STUDYING THIS UNIT WILL HELP YOU TO...
  • make connections from themes expressed in the selections to your own lives and the world around you
  • understand different elements of fiction, including:  plot, character, conflict, theme, setting, and point of view
  • recognize variations of literary forms and author's use of language to develop forms
  • write a MEL-EL-Con response to show your thinking about a fictional text
  • support an inference with evidence from the text
