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.
