In this module students will use close reading techniques to analyze two pieces of literature and determine how conflict impacts characters choices providing examples from both text to clarify their analysis. In order
to meet the demands of the Common Core State Standards/Language Arts Florida Standards, students need strategies and exposure to grapple with complex forms of text for understanding and then translate that understanding to complete a writing task. The close reading strategies used in this module (diffusing vocabulary, text marking and using guided questioning)will teach students methods for handling challenging pieces of text.
