cc_English Language Arts_Grade 6_Respond to text in personal, creative, and critical ways

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).

Students should be prompted to analyze their personal connection to text, explain their responses (rational and emotional), and consider texts from different points of view.
