This scaffolded reading experience was designed based on current End of Grade Test reading data. From this data, I concluded that students struggle in their application and extension skills. While I have found that students are able to recall basic information on characters, setting, and plot it is delving deeper into the author’s choice of words and tone to best understand the motivation of the characters is a challenge. Therefore, I chose to focus on an unconventional form of fiction that is often challenging for students, poetry. Poetry is a form of writing that requires the students to break apart the author’s word choice to dig deep into the meaning and application to their own life experiences.
