Appendix: Implementing Common Core Standards
The classroom activities in this unit tie in my school's Expected Schoolwide Learning Results (ESLR's) regarding critical thinkers and effective communicators. The following Common Core Standards are addressed in this curricular unit:
CCSS ELA-Literacy.L.11-12.4 - Determine or clarify the meaning of unknown and
multiple-meaning words and phrases based on grades 11–12 reading and content, choosing flexibly from a range of strategies.
CCSS ELA-Literacy.RL.11-12.1 - Cite strong and thorough textual evidence to support analysis of what the text says explicitly as well as inferences drawn from the text, including determining where the text leaves matters uncertain.
CCSS ELA-Literacy.RL.11-12.3 - Analyze the impact of the author's choices regarding how to develop and relate elements of a story or drama (e.g., where a story is set, how the action is ordered, how the characters/archetypes are introduced and developed).
CCSS ELA-Literacy.RL.11-12.4 - Determine the meaning of words and phrases as they are used in the text, including figurative and connotative meanings; analyze the impact of specific word choices on meaning and tone, including words with multiple meanings or language that is particularly fresh, engaging, or beautiful.
CCSS ELA-Literacy.RL.11-12.7 - Analyze multiple interpretations of a story, drama, or poem (e.g., recorded or live production of a play or recorded novel or poetry), evaluating how each version interprets the source text.
