California English Language Arts Content Standards for Seventh Grade

3.0 Literary Response and Analysis

3.3 Analyze characterization as delineated through a character's thoughts, words, speech patterns, and actions; the narrator's description; and the thoughts, words, and actions of other characters.

3.4 Identify and analyze recurring themes across works (e.g., the value of bravery, loyalty, and friendship; the effects of loneliness).

I chose to focus on these particular standards because students at my school have difficulty responding to and analyzing pieces of text. An understanding of these two standards will give students the critical thinking skills to write clear, coherent response to literature essays.
