cc_English Language Arts_Grade 6_Recognize and identify the role of personal, social, and cultural contexts, values, and perspectives in texts

Students should be prompted to consider the influence of family, friends, activities, religion, gender, and place on texts, and the relationship between text and context.

Text and texts are generic terms referring to all forms of oral, written, visual, and digital communication:

• Oral texts include speeches, poems, plays, and oral stories.
• Written texts include novels, articles, and short stories.
• Visual texts include posters, photographs, and other images.
• Digital texts include electronic forms of all the above.
• Oral, written, and visual elements can be combined (e.g., in dramatic presentations, graphic novels, films, web pages, advertisements).
