For Teachers:

During this camp, we’re keeping an eye on how our cartooning work incorporates the COMMON CORE Anchor Standards for Reading, especially the following:

• CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.CCRA.R.1
  Read closely to determine what the text says explicitly and to make logical inferences from it; cite specific textual evidence when writing or speaking to support conclusions drawn from the text.
• CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.CCRA.R.2
  Determine central ideas or themes of a text and analyze their development; summarize the key supporting details and ideas.
• CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.CCRA.R.3
  Analyze how and why individuals, events, or ideas develop and interact over the course of a text.
• CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.CCRA.R.4
  Interpret words and phrases as they are used in a text, including determining technical, connotative, and figurative meanings, and analyze how specific word choices shape meaning or tone.
• CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.CCRA.R.5
  Analyze the structure of texts, including how specific sentences, paragraphs, and larger portions of the text (e.g., a section, chapter, scene, or stanza) relate to each other and the whole.
• CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.CCRA.R.6
  Assess how point of view or purpose shapes the content and style of a text.
