What is the difference? Objective Subjective Writing that presents facts without feelings or opinions. Writing in which the feelings and opinions of the author are revealed.

Part One (ELAGSE8RI2): I can determine a central idea of a text and analyze its development over the course of the text including its relationship to supporting ideas… Key Vocabulary: DETERMINE: Decide, figure out CENTRAL IDEA: The chief point an author is making about a topic; the author’s primary message. Sometimes the central idea is stated, but sometimes it must be inferred. ANALYZE: Study closely; break down into key parts DEVELOPMENT: The building of an idea/ideas throughout a text. RELATIONSHIP: A connection between two or more ideas, events, individuals, etc. SUPPORTING IDEAS: Facts, statements, specifics, and examples that clarify, explain, and describe the central idea.
