Reading Standards Addressed

·    Use multiple sources of information from the text (e.g., character’s own thoughts/words, what others say about the character, and how others react to the character) to describe how major and minor characters change over time.

·     Identify the important events that lead to conflicts and explain how each does or does not contribute to the resolution.

·    Explain the influence of setting on mood, character, and plot.

In addition to the above standards, students will also be engaging in the production of a story or poem that will demonstrate their understanding of the elements used as well as the genre.
