|Essential Questions |Corresponding Big Ideas |
|Why is it important to identify and use compelling evidence from the text to support my analysis? |Citing textual evidence leads to a deeper understanding of the literary text. |
| | |
|How do strong readers target and use relevant evidence to draw inferences from text? |Strong readers closely read a text to identify which details qualify as relevant evidence and use those |
| |details to draw inferences from the text. |
|How does a theme develop over the course of the text and relate to the character, setting and plot? | |
| |A reader uncovers clues about a text's theme/central idea through its relationship to the characters, setting|
|How do dialogue, character actions and specific incidents propel action and provoke a decision? |and plot. |
| | |
|How can an effective narrative be written? |Thoughts, words, and actions reveal a character’s true nature. |
| | |
| | |
|Why is it important to articulate my claims and findings clearly in a focused and coherent manner? |Authors use real and/or imagined experiences to create narratives using event sequences and relevant, |
| |descriptive details. |
|Why is it important to use standard English grammar? | |
| |Effective presentations combine strong delivery techniques with relevant and coherent evidence, sound |
| |reasoning, and well-chosen details. |
| | |
| |It is important to use proper grammar when expressing yourself so that people clearly understand you and take|
| |you seriously. |

|Detailed Description of |Performance Task: |Bloom’s Taxonomy |Webb’s DOK |
|Authentic Performance |Students will gain a deep understanding of a story by identifying details that are relevant to the theme of the text and cite those details using|Levels | |
|Task 1 |a graphic organizer. | | |
| | | | |
| |Suggested Teaching and Learning Sequence: | | |
| |As a whole class Teacher Can: | | |
| |Introduce vocabulary (Frayer model, Cornell Notes, Power Point, etc) | | |
| |KWL organizer on theme and/ or narrative | | |
| |Citation format(s) mini lesson | | |
| |Show a video clip and model identifying the theme and citing evidence from the clip to support the theme or guide students through a quote | | |
| |matching activity in which they match literary quotes to a list of themes and provide justification. | | |
| |For example: If showing the movie trailer from “Paranorman”, the teacher could explain that the theme is that it’s important to be true to | | |
| |yourself and that the dialogue suggests that this is one of the messages. To illustrate this, one of the characters tells Norman to remember who | | |
| |he is. | | |
| |Lead students through a close read of a story. The close read can include identifying elements of figurative language. | | |
| |Guide students in a discussion of the text and its theme. Model completing the graphic organizer. | | |
| |In small groups students can: | | |
| |Complete a close read of a story | | |
| |Work collaboratively to complete the graphic organizer on theme and/ or narrative structure. | | |

|Authentic Performance |Students use information from their graphic organizer to write an analysis of the theme of the text. They will reflect on how dialogue and|Levels | |
|Task 3 |specific incidents in the story helped to strongly convey the theme or changed how the theme developed. | | |
| | | | |
| |Suggested Teaching and Learning Sequence: | | |
| |As a whole class students can: | | |
| |Review the rubric for the written assignment and model different graphic organizers or one-pagers that could be used by students for their| | |
| |task. | | |
| |Review the text from Task 2 and reorganize their graphic organizer. They can use the rubric or other resource to ensure that it contains | | |
| |all the necessary elements. | | |
| |Independently: | | |
| |Students may respond to a prompt. | | |
| |Example: Explain how the character’s dialogue and actions as well as the use of figurative language develop the theme of the text. | | |
| |Example: In a short and objective summary, determine the theme and analyze its development over the course of the story. | | |
| |Write an analysis of the text. The writing will explain how the theme is conveyed through elements of plot in the text, and also how the | | |
| |author used different techniques to convey the theme. | | |
| |In small groups: | | |
| |Students can read essays aloud in small groups or pairs. | | |
| |Students can use the rubric to peer review essays and check for understanding. | | |

| | | | |
| |With partners or whole class: | | |
| |Students can complete a graphic organizer for a new narrative that uses dialogue, figurative language, and has a theme traceable throughout | | |
| |the plot by taking inspiration from the narrative they’ve read (by extending the story or taking on a different point of view). | | |
| |Read and annotate rubric for assessment with possible accompanying DOK questions for comprehension of standard/assessment. | | |
