Knowledge and Skills Statement

Author's purpose and craft: listening, speaking, reading, writing, and thinking using multiple texts. The student uses critical inquiry to analyze the authors' choices and how they influence and communicate meaning within a variety of texts. The student analyzes and applies author's craft purposefully in order to develop his or her own products and performances.

Pídales a los estudiantes que trabajen en grupos pequeños y que cambien de una hoja de trabajo a otra, cada una de las cuales tiene un extracto de un texto. Pídales a los estudiantes que identifiquen si el texto usa el punto de vista de la primera o la tercera persona.

Literary devices are specific language techniques that convey meaning and bring clarity to a text. Students should understand that authors use literary devices, such as point of view and figurative language, to tell a story or communicate a message. For example, authors may choose to write in first-person point of view when they want the reader to experience the plot through the main character’s point of view. The repetition of the word I can make it easier for the reader to relate to and empathize with the main character.
