Overarching Theme: Reading Fiction

Essential Questions

Enduring Understandings • Fictional literature has identifiable and common story elements, setting, character, plot (conflict, main events, climax, resolution), theme, & point of view to effectively tell a complete story. • Literature often demands readers to analyze the meaning of words and phrases to support their understanding of the text and their ability to discuss/respond to the text. Essential Questions • How can I draw upon what I know about reading in order to read with greater independence? • How can I set up goals for my own reading life and begin to work deliberatively towards those goals? • How can I develop theories about all characters within a reading in order to see how they influence the main characters develop? • How does characterization and character elements create a catalyst for a "shift" in the character?
