Summary Statement: In this unit, readers will determine the themes of literary texts and analyze their development, citing several pieces of
textual evidence to support their analysis. They will also analyze the ways in which particular elements of a story or drama interact and provide
objective summaries. Writers will craft narratives to develop real or imagined experiences or events using effective technique, relevant descriptive
details, and well-structured event sequences.
