o
Cite strong and thorough textual evidence to
support analysis of what the text says explicitly
as well as inferences drawn from the text.

analyze in detail its development over the
course of the text, including how it emerges
and is shaped and refined by specific details;
provide an objective summary of the text.
o
regarding how to develop and relate elements
of a story or drama (e.g. where a story is set,
how the action is ordered, how the characters
are introduced and developed).
Cite strong and thorough evidence to support
analysis or what the text says explicitly as well
as inferences drawn from the text, including
determining where the text leaves matters
uncertain.
Craft and Structure
Craft and Structure
o
o
o
Determine the meanings 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).
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.
Foreshadowing: Common Core Standards
o
Analyze how an authors choices concerning
how to structure specific parts of text (e.g., the
choice of where to begin or end a story, the
choice to provide a comedic or tragic
resolution) contribute to its overall structure
and meaning as well as its aesthetic impact.
Analyze a case in which grasping a point of
view requires distinguishing what is directly
stated in a text from what is really meant (e.g.,
satire, sarcasm, irony, or understatement).

Video
YouTube video on
foreshadowing
created by college
students
Provides a little more
background
information and
illuminates an even
greater sense of
Gantos’s tone and
motivations
Provides some good
pop cultural examples
and explanations.
Could be a good
resource to help get the
lesson started, since the
examples are fairly
well-known and
recognizable.
