Students will read, write, listen, and speak for literary response and
expression. |
|
|
Students will read and listen to oral, written and
electronically produced texts and performances, relate texts and
performances to their own lives, and develop an understanding of the diverse
social, historical, and cultural dimensions the texts and performances
represent. As speakers and writers, students will use oral and written
language for self-expression and artistic creation.
Key Idea:
Listening & Reading
for literary
response involves comprehending, interpreting, and critiquing imaginative
texts in every medium, drawing on personal experiences and knowledge to
understand the text, and recognizing the social, historical and cultural
features of the text.
