text that is widely acknowledged for its outstanding and enduring qualities
a text that is set near the present time, typically post-World War II
texts that represent regional, economic, social, and ethnic differences through subject matter and/or characters
Students are expected to recognize and analyze the basic components of most literary works such as setting, plot, characterization, point of view, and theme. Students should be able to differentiate between these components, evaluate their function in a literary text, and determine how the components interact with each other. Literary elements represent the framework of literary works such as stories (either true or fictitious), fables, folktales, drama, and poetry.
stories derived from the oldest records of oral and written narratives throughout history (e.g., tales, legends, fairytales, fables, myths, and religious texts)
