Appendix
I will be following the Common Core Reading Standards for Literature and Writing at the 9 th/10 th grade level, though this can be modified to other grade levels. I will be addressing the following standards:
RL 9/10 1: Cite strong and thorough textual evidence to support analysis of what the text says explicitly as well as inferences drawn from the text
RL 9/10 2: Determine a theme or central idea of a text and analyze in detail its development over the course of the text, including how it emerges and is shaped and refined by specific details; provide an objective summary of the text.
RL 9/10 3: Analyze how complex characters (e.g., those with multiple or conflicting
motivations) develop over the course of a text, interact with other characters, and advance the plot or develop the theme
RL 9/10 5: Analyze how an author's choices concerning how to structure a text, order
events within it (e.g., parallel plots), and manipulate time (e.g., pacing, flashbacks) create such effects as mystery, tension, or surprise
W 9/10 4: Produce clear and coherent writing in which the development, organization,
and style are appropriate to task, purpose, and audience.
W 9/10 7: Conduct short as well as more sustained research projects to answer a question (including a self-generated question) or solve a problem; narrow or broaden
the inquiry when appropriate; synthesize multiple sources on the subject, demonstrating understanding of the subject under investigation.
