Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related 6.19 Compare Across Genres on a Theme skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery

Which answer best explains the different emphasis each genre gives to the same theme?

ABoth texts mainly prove that the quickest answer is always the best one; the different genres only change the length of the texts, not the meaning.

BText 1 treats the theme as a private feeling only, while Text 2 treats it as a plot problem only; this ignores the evidence from both forms.

CText 1 develops the idea that solving problems requires evidence, planning, and creativity by using believable conflict, character choices, and consequences to show the event in which Caleb draws a new schedule when two events overlap; Text 2 develops the same idea through dated first-person reflection and honest self-questioning, especially the focus on a pencil line connecting scattered dots.

DText 1 depends on the image of a pencil line connecting scattered dots, while Text 2 depends on Caleb's plot choice; this swaps the genres' strongest evidence.

Solution & Explanation:Choice C is correct because it uses evidence from both genres. The realistic story shows problem solving through the event in which Caleb draws a new schedule when two events overlap, while the journal entry emphasizes the theme through a pencil line connecting scattered dots and through dated first-person reflection and honest self-questioning. The other choices ignore genre differences, reverse the evidence, or claim a contrast that the texts do not support.

Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery

Which comparison gives the most precise analysis of how genre changes the treatment of the shared theme?

ABoth texts mainly prove that forgiveness means pretending nothing happened; the different genres only change the length of the texts, not the meaning.

BText 1 treats the theme as a private feeling only, while Text 2 treats it as a plot problem only; this ignores the evidence from both forms.

CText 1 depends on the image of two chalk lines erased into one path, while Text 2 depends on Imani's plot choice; this swaps the genres' strongest evidence.

DText 1 develops the idea that forgiveness can begin after accountability and honest effort by using rising action, risk, and problem solving to show the event in which Imani talks with a neighbor who returned the borrowed tools late; Text 2 develops the same idea through a speaker's feelings, sound, and compressed images, especially the focus on two chalk lines erased into one path.

Solution & Explanation:Choice D is correct because it uses evidence from both genres. The adventure story shows forgiveness through the event in which Imani talks with a neighbor who returned the borrowed tools late, while the lyric poem emphasizes the theme through two chalk lines erased into one path and through a speaker's feelings, sound, and compressed images. The other choices ignore genre differences, reverse the evidence, or claim a contrast that the texts do not support.

Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery

Which answer best explains the different emphasis each genre gives to the same theme?

AText 1 develops the idea that giving time or resources can strengthen a group by using period details and a character's choices in a specific time to show the event in which Theo teaches a new goalie the footwork before tryouts; Text 2 develops the same idea through direct appeals, reasons, and repeated calls to action, especially the focus on mittens left on a bench for cold hands.

BBoth texts mainly prove that generosity matters only when the gift is large; the different genres only change the length of the texts, not the meaning.

CText 1 treats the theme as a private feeling only, while Text 2 treats it as a plot problem only; this ignores the evidence from both forms.

DText 1 depends on the image of mittens left on a bench for cold hands, while Text 2 depends on Theo's plot choice; this swaps the genres' strongest evidence.

Solution & Explanation:Choice A is correct because it uses evidence from both genres. The historical fiction shows generosity through the event in which Theo teaches a new goalie the footwork before tryouts, while the speech emphasizes the theme through mittens left on a bench for cold hands and through direct appeals, reasons, and repeated calls to action. The other choices ignore genre differences, reverse the evidence, or claim a contrast that the texts do not support.
