7.RL.10 is a cluster heading. These are the individual standards under it.

• 7.RL.10.a

  Demonstrate proficiency in reading and comprehending grade-appropriate texts.

• 7.RL.10.b

  Self-select texts for personal enjoyment, interest, and academic tasks.

• 7.RL.10.c

01

What Students Need to Do

Students read grade-level stories, poems, and plays on their own, including works from different cultures and viewpoints. They choose texts for enjoyment or class tasks and explain what they read using details from the text.

02

What Mastery Looks Like

A student can read an unfamiliar grade-level text without someone explaining each page. They can explain a character's or speaker's viewpoint, point to supporting lines, and choose a book that fits their purpose.

03

Common Misconceptions

Some students assume unfamiliar names or settings mean a text is too hard and skip the clues it gives. Others mistake a narrator's view for the author's or choose only familiar, easy books.

04

How to Assess It

Offer a grade-level poem and a short story excerpt. Ask students to choose one, read it alone, and write its main idea, one viewpoint it presents, and two supporting lines.

1. 01

   Give students a poem and a short story excerpt by different authors to read alone, then mark lines that show each viewpoint.

2. 02

   Have students write three sentences comparing how the poem's speaker and the story's narrator see belonging, citing one line from each.

3. 03

   Run a book-match round: post four literary book blurbs, then have students choose a personal read and a class-task read, with reasons.

4. 04

   Print a public library's teen fiction list; students choose a book about an unfamiliar experience and explain whose viewpoint they hope to understand.
