Mid-Assessment Task
Readers apply reading and writing strategies and emerging knowledge on a topic. Students apply their analysis skills as they read two texts that represent ideas about or examples of protest or civil disobedience. They write three paragraphs: a summary of each text and a paragraph of response that details their interaction with the texts.
Prompt: Perform a multi-draft read with your texts. Annotate the texts, applying the strategies you have practiced already in this unit.
Next, write a paragraph summarizing each text.
Write a third paragraph that extends your thinking by combining two or more of the following ways to interact with text:
connections to another text
questions that emerge
historical and/or socio-cultural connections
point of view
writer’s craft and/or structural decisions
personal connections
