Goals for the week of 10/16

• ​Determine a theme or central idea of a text and how it is conveyed through particular details; provide a summary of the text distinct from personal opinions or judgments.
• Cite textual evidence to support analysis of what the text says explicitly as well as inferences drawn from the text.
• Describe how a particular story’s or drama’s plot unfolds in a series of episodes as well as how the characters respond or change as the plot moves toward a resolution.
• ​​Analyze how a particular sentence, chapter, scene or stanza fits into the overall structure of a text and how it contributes to the development of the theme, setting or plot.
• Students will create a timeline of moments they have written to consider how Dahl defines his purpose in the Author’s Note from Boy.
•  Students will reread a description, identify an overall impression, and select and explain the text details that give that impression.
• Students will identify their impression of one candy that Dahl describes and use concrete text details to support that impression.
• ​​Produce clear and coherent writing in which the development, organization, and style are appropriate to task, purpose, and audience.
• ​​​Participate actively in a range of collaborative conversations to express ideas and build upon the ideas of others. ​
