9th Lit Standards

Fall 2013

In small groups, work with the standards. Each group gets one page of standards. These determine What and How we study this semester. The Common Core Standards set the curriculum for EVERY 9th Lit class in every city in every state! Now, determine what this is saying by pulling out the key elements of each standard. First, identify the nouns (what we will do) and verbs (how we will study it) in the standards below. Next, sketch out a flowchart that shows the relationship between the nouns and verbs of your assigned standards please draw a separate flowchart for each standard! Finally, draw a final version of each flowchart on separate pieces of chart paper.

READING LITERARY (RL)

Key Ideas and Details ELACC9RL1: Cite strong and thorough textual evidence to support analysis of what the text says explicitly as well as inferences drawn from the text. ELACC9RL2: Determine a theme or central idea of a text and analyze in detail its development over the course of the text, including how it emerges and is shaped and refined by specific details; provide an objective summary of the text. ELACC9RL3: Analyze how complex characters (e.g., those with multiple or conflicting motivations) develop over the course of a text, interact with other characters, and advance the plot or develop the theme.
