01

What Students Need to Do

Students identify techniques such as pacing, dialogue, description, point of view, and flashback. They judge how each choice affects a specific audience and purpose, then use or revise techniques deliberately.

02

What Mastery Looks Like

A student can explain why a technique works in a passage, using details about audience response and author purpose. The student can revise a scene so the technique creates a clear, intended effect.

03

Common Misconceptions

Students may label dialogue, flashback, or imagery without explaining its effect. They may assume more description always improves a narrative or judge a technique only by personal preference. Some add techniques randomly instead of choosing them for a clear audience and purpose.

04

How to Assess It

Give students a 100-word scene with flat pacing. Ask them to revise three sentences to build suspense and explain one choice for teenage readers.

1. 01

   Give groups a cut-up scene; they reorder the lines, add one pause, and compare how each version changes suspense.

2. 02

   Compare two versions of the same event, then write which narration better reaches skeptical readers and cite two specific choices.

3. 03

   Play Technique Match: teams pair passage cards with intended effects, then earn a point by defending each match with textual evidence.

4. 04

   Rewrite a school announcement as a brief personal story for incoming students, using dialogue and pacing to make the message memorable.
