R.9.2 Compare two passages in similar or closely related genre that share ideas or themes, focusing on similarities and/or differences in perspective, tone, style, structure, purpose, or overall impact W.2 Produce an extended analytic response in which the writer introduces the idea(s) or claim(s) clearly; creates an organization that logically sequences information; develops the idea(s) or claim(s) thoroughly with well- chosen examples, facts, or details from the text; and maintains a coherent focus. Reporting Category 2- Using evidence to understand, analyze and create arguments 45% R.2.1 Comprehend explicit details and main ideas in text R.2.2 Summarize details and ideas in text R.2.3 Make sentence level inferences about details that support main ideas R.2.4 Infer implied main ideas in paragraphs or whole texts R.2.5 Determine which detail(s) support(s) a main idea R.2.6 Identify a theme, or identify which element(s) in a text support a theme R.2.7 Make evidence based generalizations or hypotheses based on details in text, including clarifications, extensions, or applications of main ideas to new situations R.2.8 Draw conclusions or make generalizations that require synthesis of multiple main ideas in text R.8.1 Delineate the specific steps of an argument the author puts forward, including how the argument’s claims build on one another.
