EL.7.3 2006 - READING: Comprehension and Analysis of Literary Text
Students read and respond to grade-level-appropriate historically or culturally significant works of literature, such as the selections in the Indiana Reading List illustrate the quality and complexity of the materials to be read by students. At Grade 7, students read a wide variety of fiction, such as classic and contemporary literature, historical fiction, fantasy, science fiction, mysteries, adventures, folklore, mythology, poetry, short stories, dramas, and other genres.
EL.7.3.2 2006
Analysis of Grade-Level-Appropriate Literary Text:
Identify events that advance the plot and determine how each event explains past or present action or foreshadows (provides clues to) future action.
Example: While reading the short story "Charles" by Shirley Jackson, recognize the foreshadowing of events to come as the behavior of the character Charles begins to change.
EL.7.3.3 2006
Analyze characterization as shown through a character's thoughts, words, speech patterns, and actions; the narrator's description; and the thoughts, words, and actions of other characters.
Example: Describe the main character, a Chinese emperor, in Ray Bradbury's short story "The Flying Machine" and other characters' reactions as they fail to understand the miracle of one of his subject's new flying invention. Use examples of their thoughts, words, and actions to support the description.
EL.7.3.4 2006
Identify and analyze themes - such as bravery, loyalty, friendship, and loneliness;- which appear in many different works.
Example: Analyze the theme of overcoming obstacles that is present in the novel Captains Courageous by Rudyard Kipling.
EL.7.3.5 2006
Contrast points of view - such as first person, third person, limited and omniscient, and subjective and objective - in a literary text and explain how they affect the overall theme of the work.
• First person: the narrator tells the story from the "I" perspective.
• Third person: the narrator tells the story from an outside perspective.
• Limited narration: the narrator does not know all thoughts of all characters.
• Omniscient narration: the narrator knows all thoughts of all characters.
• Subjective: the point of view involves a personal perspective.
• Objective: the point of view is from a distanced, informational perspective, as in a news report.
Example: Understand that the point from which the writer has chosen to tell a story affects the impact of the story on the reader. Discuss how the point of view of a book read in class affects the theme of the book, and explain how this might have been changed had the story been told from the point of view of another character or from an all-knowing narrator.
EL.7.3.8 2006
Analyze the influence of the setting on the problem and its resolution.
EL.7.3.9 2006
Analyze the relevance of setting (places, times, customs) to mood, tone, and meaning of text.
