Learning Goals:

RL. 9-10.1: Cite strong and thorough textual evidence to support analysis of what the text says explicitly
as well as inferences drawn from the text
RL.9-10.2: Determine a theme or central idea of a text and analyze in detail its development over the
course of the text
RL.9-10. 4: Determine the meaning of words and phrases as they are used in the text and analyze the
impact of specific word choices on meaning and tone
RL.9-10. 5: Analyze how an author's choices concerning how to structure a text, order events within it
(e.g., parallel plots), and manipulate time (e.g., pacing, flashbacks) create such effects as mystery,
tension, or surprise.
RL.9-10.9: Analyze how an author draws on and transforms source material in a specific work
