It's also important to look at the word choice used in each text because this also hints at the themes.  ]]> 2017-05-22 23:23:49 UTC https://padlet.com/gderstine/5ol16j8g6jcb/wish/173261975 Project Rubric gderstine https://padlet.com/gderstine/5ol16j8g6jcb/wish/173269377 This is a rubric that I adapted for this project.

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. ]]> 2017-05-23 01:00:55 UTC https://padlet.com/gderstine/5ol16j8g6jcb/wish/173271786 Learning Outcomes: gderstine https://padlet.com/gderstine/5ol16j8g6jcb/wish/173272064 - Students will be able to identify themes in complex text and compare/contrast themes across time periods and cultures.
- Students will be able to create a timeline or interactive map to show synthesis of theme analysis.
- Students will be able to conduct close reading of at least 2 texts and provide evidence of author's purpose and perspective. ]]> 2017-05-23 01:03:53 UTC https://padlet.com/gderstine/5ol16j8g6jcb/wish/173272064 Key Vocabulary gderstine https://padlet.com/gderstine/5ol16j8g6jcb/wish/173272389 theme
