Essential Understanding: Successful high school students read for purpose by first identifying the genre, audience and source of the reading. They use this information to guide their reconstruction of the central ideas and supporting details the author is attempting to communicate. Once they have a handle on the basics, they analyze the reading to make critical insights, ask critical questions, and connect the reading to prior learning.
