Knowledge and Skills Statement

Author's purpose and craft: listening, speaking, reading, writing, and thinking using multiple texts. The student uses critical inquiry to analyze the authors' choices and how they influence and communicate meaning within a variety of texts. The student analyzes and applies author's craft purposefully in order to develop his or her own products and performances.

Pídales a los estudiantes que trabajen en grupos pequeños para leer un texto que incluya una anécdota. Guíe una discusión en clase sobre la anécdota y luego pídales a los estudiantes que identifiquen la anécdota en el texto seleccionado. Pídales a los estudiantes que determinen por qué decidió el autor incluir la anécdota.


Further Explanation

En esta expectativa estudiantil, se espera que los estudiantes reconozcan cuáles son los elementos de una anécdota que son relevantes para el punto principal del autor y por qué el autor ha elegido incluir la anécdota como parte de la historia, explicación o argumento.

Students should identify anecdotes, or short accounts of an interesting or funny incident or person used to make a larger point, in texts and understand why the author has chosen to include the anecdote as part of a story, explanation, or argument. Authors may choose to use anecdotes about their own lives or a character’s life to help illustrate or emphasize a message. For example, in a story that deals with the problems one of the characters has making new friends, another character may share an anecdote about a time when they were in a similar situation.
