RL.9.4. Determine the meaning of words and phrases as they are used in the text, including figurative and connotative meanings; analyze the cumulative impact of specific word choices on meaning and tone (e.g., how the language evokes a sense of time and place; how it sets a formal or informal tone). RL.9.5. Analyze how an author’s choices concerning how to structure a text, order events within it (e.g., parallel plots), and manipulate time (e.g., pacing, flashbacks) create such effects as mystery, tension, or surprise. RL.9.6. Analyze a particular point of view or cultural experience reflected in a work of literature from outside the United States, drawing on a wide reading of world literature. || ===‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍**Anchor Standard/Mathematical Practice(s)**===

===‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍**Sample Assessments**=== ** Formative Assessment: ** 3-2-1 (Three-Two-One) Writing activity where students write: 3 key terms from what they have just learned, 2 ideas they would like to learn more about, and 1 concept or skill they think they have mastered.

Fast Write Analysis: One-paragraph explanation of how the setting or the dialogue of the selection illustrates <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;">a particular point of view or cultural experience reflected in a work of literature from outside the United States.

===‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍**Differentiation:**===
 * Telescoping**: Curriculum telescoping is a form of acceleration and happens when a student (or group of students) is allowed to complete the assignment in less time, leaving greater time for enrichment opportunities.

‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍**Intervention:**

 * Varied Groupings:** Students should be flexibly grouped to provide support for struggling learners. The variations may include homogeneous groups, which receive focused assistance though modified assignments or heterogeneous groups, in which higher ability students team with struggling learners for peer-tutoring opportunities.
