Strand - Reading Literature

Cluster - Integration of Knowledge and Ideas

[RL.9-10.7] - Analyze a critical response to a work or body of literature (e.g., author documentary, book review); provide a summary of the argument presented and evaluate the strength of the evidence supporting it.

Resources:


  • Analysis (Analyze)
    In general, a careful examination of the parts of a whole and their relationships to one another; in language arts, a study of how words, sentences, paragraphs, stanzas, or sections of a text affect its meaning.
  • Argument
    Is intended to convince by establishing truth. Most argumentation begins with a claim, then provides supporting logical and/or empirical evidence. Arguments may also include the anticipation and rebuttal of opposing views (counterclaims). (Note that in elementary school, the standards ask that students write opinions, rather than arguments. Opinions define and defend a belief, position, or preference with reasons.)
  • Evaluate
    Judge or determine the significance, worth, or quality of something. See Assess
  • Evidence
    Empirical data or other sources of support (e.g., mathematical proofs) for a claim; may be selected, presented, and evaluated differently by different audiences and in different subject areas according to the norms of disciplinary literacy. See Text Types and Purposes for Argument.
  • Massachusetts Anchor Standards for Reading
  • Summary
    An account of a text’s main points, disregarding unimportant details and usually employing the same order of events or topics as the source text. Summarizing is a basic reading technique that consolidates and demonstrates understanding of a text’s overall meaning. See Synthesis.
