01

What Students Need to Do

Students choose and read challenging poems, plays, and stories from different cultures for class tasks and personal interest. They work through difficult passages on their own and use details from the text to explain different viewpoints.

02

What Mastery Looks Like

A student can read an unfamiliar literary text, explain its meaning, and support an interpretation with accurate details. They can choose a book for a purpose and explain how two texts present different views of an issue.

03

Common Misconceptions

Students may skip unfamiliar words or references instead of using nearby clues to work out meaning. They may mistake a character's view for the author's or assume texts on the same topic share a perspective.

04

How to Assess It

Offer three unfamiliar, one-page excerpts from a poem, play, and story. Students choose one, paraphrase a difficult passage, and cite two details that reveal a viewpoint.

1. 01

   Give pairs a printed copy of Joy Harjo's 'A Map to the Next World'; have them mark unfamiliar references and paraphrase four lines.

2. 02

   Have students write four sentences comparing the speaker's view of memory in Harjo's poem with their own, citing two lines.

3. 03

   Run a passage match: students pair four challenging excerpts with paraphrases, then defend one match using context clues.

4. 04

   Have students choose a library novel about an unfamiliar experience, read its first page, and explain why they chose it.
