Teaching tips & learning objectives
Learning objectives
Determine the theme of a short story and of a poem, citing specific text details as support
Identify and explain the effect of figurative language (simile, metaphor, personification) in both prose and poetry
Determine the central idea of an informational text and identify the strongest supporting detail
Teaching tips
- Ask students to explain the connection between a Part A answer and the evidence they chose.
Skills covered
Theme determination — students identify the main theme of both a short story and a poem, each requiring inference from multiple text details.
Figurative language interpretation — simile, metaphor, and personification items ask students to explain what a specific comparison suggests, not just to name the device.
Central idea and text structure — informational-text questions ask students to identify the idea all paragraphs support and to trace a cause-and-effect structure between two paragraphs.
