2c. Rationale

Students will show evidence of growth towards mastery in critical reading and literary
analysis
CC.1.2.11-12.B (Nonfiction Texts) Cite strong and thorough textual evidence to support
analysis of what the text says explicitly as well as inferences and conclusions based on and
related to an authors implicit and explicit assumptions and beliefs.
CC.1.3.1112.B (Literary Interpretation) Cite strong and thorough textual evidence to
support analysis of what the text says explicitly, as well as inferences and conclusions based
on and related to an authors implicit and explicit assumptions and beliefs.
CC.1.4.1112.S (Writing about/Responding to Literature) Draw evidence from literary or
informational texts to support analysis, reflection, and research, applying grade-level reading
standards for literature and literary nonfiction.
Colleges expect incoming freshmen to read critically and analytically in order to arrive at
reasonable and logical interpretations of texts. Focusing on these two standards in my
instruction and assessment practice will help me move students from surface reading and
basic citation of evidence to deeper reading and explication of evidence that supports AND
advances inferences, conclusions, analyses, and interpretations. Furthermore, the use of
recursive, student-centered rubrics will support and guide students to these higher order
thinking skills essential for college level reading.
