Students will have the ability to construct new understandings by interacting across and within texts, summarizing, analyzing, and evaluating

them actively. They must be able to use literacy for creative and critical thinking and for

advanced problem solving. Proficient and advanced readers know and apply multiple

strategies to text in order to construct meanings from multiple perspectives and understand how

their meanings may differ

from those of others.
