This project focuses on the following standards:
RL6.1:  Cite textual evidence to support analysis of what the text says explicitly as well as inferences drawn from the text

RL6.2:  Determine a theme or central idea of a text and how it is conveyed through particular details; provide a summary of the text distinct from personal opinions or judgments.

RL6.:  Explain how an author develops the point of view of the narrator or speaker in a text.

This is a rubric that I adapted for this project. I've used a similar one for other hands- on projects.

"The Summer and Winter Garden" is actually of German origin and talks much of the themes of sacrifice, the deception of appearances, and true love.  Emily Dickinson's poem also touches on the idea of identity which can be related back to the theme of appearances. It's also important to look at the word choice used in each text because this also hints at the themes.
