Text Forms
2.1 identify a variety of characteristics of literary,
informational, and graphic text forms and
demonstrate insight into the way they help
communicate meaning (e.g., quoted material is
used in a literary essay to support the analysis
or argument, and the thesis is often restated and
extended in the conclusion; recurring imagery
and/or symbols often help to develop themes in
poems, stories, and plays; the structure of a sonnet
provides a framework for the poem’s content)
Teacher prompts: “What can you expect to find
in the concluding couplet of a Shakespearean
sonnet?” “How could you adapt a short story
to a ‘graphic novel’ format? What literary elements
would you need to preserve?”
