Knowledge and Skills Statement

Multiple genres: listening, speaking, reading, writing, and thinking using multiple texts--literary elements. The student recognizes and analyzes literary elements within and across increasingly complex traditional, contemporary, classical, and diverse literary texts.

Deles a los estudiantes una historia corta para leer en la que el escenario histórico tenga una influencia directa en la trama de la historia. Algunos ejemplos podrían incluir El motín del té en Boston o la historia de la redacción del himno nacional de Estados Unidos. Una vez que los estudiantes hayan leído la historia, tengan una conversación grupal en la cual se discuta el impacto del escenario en la trama de la historia. Luego, pídales a los estudiantes que rescriban la historia teniendo en cuenta un escenario histórico distinto.


Further Explanation

Este ejemplo de evaluación requiere que los estudiantes entiendan cómo el tiempo y el lugar en el que se sitúa una historia establece un efecto en los eventos de ésta. Los estudiantes deben analizar también cómo los eventos de una historia pueden ser otros si el escenario fuera distinto.

Students need to draw upon their background knowledge and context clues in the text to determine how the historical and cultural backdrop of a setting can restrict, impact, or even be the focus of a plot. The time and place in which a story is set has a direct impact on the internal logic and what will be considered plausible for the storyline. For instance, if a story is set in America in 1910, a character who is a politician would likely not be a woman, but if she was, this might play an important part in how the plot's conflicts are developed because of the cultural norms she would be defying in that time period.
the contextual details of the social environment, beliefs, customs, values, and activities of a particular group of people as presented in the particular time and place of the setting
the contextual details of the historical time and place of the setting, including details about the historical events surrounding a time period (even those that occur outside of the story) and information about a place’s past
the basic sequence of events in a story that includes the exposition, rising action, climax, falling action, and resolution
the time, place, and circumstances in which something occurs or develops
Lugar y tiempo en donde se desarrolla una historia. Algunos elementos del escenario pueden incluir el entorno físico, cultural o histórico donde la historia se lleva a cabo.
Secuencia básica de eventos en una historia que incluye planteamiento de la acción, acción ascendente, punto culminante, acción descendente y desenlace.

Summary:  The study included 20 middle school students who were instructed in the use of the story grammar technique over a set period of time. The study revealed that the story grammar technique did significantly improve the students' comprehension and analytical thinking skills.
