<ul><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">
<li><span style="color: black; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Three of our standards for reading literature read/can be paraphrased as follows:</span></li>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"></span><span style="color: black; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">English 10 Honors students...</span></li>
<ul>
<li><span style="color: black; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">"cite strong and thorough textual evidence to support analysis of what the text says explicitly/implicitly and make logical inferences, including determining where the text is ambiguous."</span></li>
<li><span style="color: black; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">analyze how authorial decisions (regarding word choice, structure, point of view, perspective, purpose, etc.) create meaning, impact elements such as tone and mode, and affect the reader on the whole.</span></li>
<li>"determine two or more themes or central ideas of a text and analyze their development, including how they emerge and are shaped and refined by specific details over the course of the text."</li>
</ul>
</ul>
<li><span style="color: black; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The following is a list of the conventions of literature that authors often choose to implement that you should both know and be able to apply:</span></li>
<ul>
<li><span style="color: black; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">literary communion</span></li>
<li><span style="color: black; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Christ(ological) figure</span></li>

</ul>
<li><span style="color: black; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Part 3 of the NYS Regents in ELA asks you to "identify a central idea in the text [provided] and analyze how the author's use of </span><b><i><span style="color: black; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">one</span></i></b><span style="color: black; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"> writing strategy (literary element or literary technique or rhetorical device) develops this central idea."</span><span style="color: black;"> </span></li>
