Character - persons, animals, things, or natural forces presented in literature.

Genre - A category of literary composition characterized by a particular style, form, or content is a genre. For example, poetry is a genre of literature.


Plot - Plot is events that make up a story.


Prediction - A prediction is a statement or forecast made about the future. Predicting links information read in a text to prior experience for the purpose of understanding and anticipating the outcomes of events, characters, and conflict in a story.


Setting - In literature texts, setting is the time and place where the events of the story take place. The sequence of the settings in a text provides the structure for most literature readings.


Summary - Summarizing is to order the most significant events in the text into a format that allows a reader unfamiliar with the passage to gain an overview of the events of a story.


Textual Evidence - Textual evidence refers to an explicit support from a reading passage that proves students' answers. Often textual evidence is either an example from the text that proves an inference/generalization or a direct quote from the text that supports an answer provided by students.
