Description
Authors make intentional decisions regarding the reading elements in a text. In this unit, you will begin to evaluate these elements using text-dependent analyses. Text-dependent analysis responses should point out the author's specific choices, describe how and why the author made those choices, and for what particular reasons, to explain their significance and/or impact, then draw a conclusion about the author's meaning or message.
Rationale
Essential Questions:
What specific choices, as they relate to reading elements, does an author make to help a reader understand a text?
What is the intended outcome of authors choosing specific words, structures and details
