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.

Usando información de una tabla guía que haya sido creada por la clase mientras se hacía una lectura en voz alta, pídales a los estudiantes que analicen la estructura de la información usando la tabla guía. Luego, pídales a los estudiantes que expliquen por qué el autor pudo haber decidido organizar su texto de la forma en que lo hizo.

Si la estructura del texto fue causa-efecto, la tabla guía podría verse así:

Causa

Further Explanation

Esta evaluación requiere que los estudiantes describan cómo organiza un autor las ideas en un texto para lograr un propósito específico. Los estudiantes deben poder explicar cómo la estructura de organización del texto ayuda a que el autor consiga su propósito.

to detect how the component parts of a passage or text relate to one another and aid understanding This may include identifying the parts, studying the relationship among parts, and recognizing the organizational principles involved. Learning outcomes present a higher intellectual level than comprehension and application because they require an understanding of both the content and structural form of the material.
When students analyze text structure, they are expected to determine how an author organizes ideas in a text to accomplish a specific purpose. For example, in a writing piece that deals with historical events, the author may use a structure that present events in a sequential form and also organizes the information in a cause-and-effect pattern. By doing this, the author may want readers to understand how certain historical and political circumstances triggered a series of events.
Students are expected to analyze how the author’s purpose has a specific effect on readers. Authors write for diverse reasons. If the purpose is to entertain the readers, an author might choose to write a narrative or story. However, if the goal is to convince a reader to believe an idea or take a course of action, the author will likely use persuasive writing.
the organizational pattern or structure authors use to construct and organize ideas for their audience (e.g., cause and effect, problem and solution, description, order of importance)
