Things Fall Apart - Audiobook (here; hint: view the pinned comment for chapter start times) SpringBoard TFA Unit PDF TFA annotated bibliography This Week’s Learning Goals: Students will continue to conduct character analysis to determine a theme and/or central idea of text and closely analyze its development over the course of the text, including how it emerges and is shaped and refined by specific details. Students will also focus on analyzing how complex characters (e.g., those with multiple or conflicting motivations) develop over the course of a text, interact with other characters, and advance the plot or develop the theme. Students will analyze how an author’s choices concerning how to structure a text, order events within it, and manipulate time create effects in a novel. Students will discuss particular cultural experiences that differ from culture in the U.S. Students will gather relevant information from multiple authoritative digital sources, using advanced searches effectively; assess the usefulness of each source in answering a research question; and follow a standard format for citation.

ELAGSE9-10RL5: 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.

ELAGSE9-10RL7: Analyze the representation of a subject or a key scene in two different artistic mediums (e.g., Auden’s poem “Musée de Beaux Arts” and Breughel’s painting Landscape with the Fall of Icarus), including what is emphasized or absent in each treatment.
