Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related 6.8 Connections Across Texts skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery

How do the authors’ stances toward the topic compare?

ABoth texts mock the topic and suggest it is pointless.

BText 1 has a stance, but Text 2 refuses to express any attitude.

CStance cannot be compared across different genres.

DBoth texts take a mostly supportive stance toward the topic, even though the genres differ.

Solution & Explanation:Both texts share a topic, but they emphasize different lessons or attitudes. Compare each theme statement and how it is presented.

Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery

Which statement best compares a repeated image or idea (motif) across the texts?

AOnly one text uses repetition; the other does not repeat any ideas or images.

BMotifs only appear in poems, not in other genres.

CIn both texts, repeated attention to an object or idea reinforces the theme by reminding the reader of the main lesson.

DThe repeated image distracts from theme and replaces it.

Solution & Explanation:Notice the highlighted object/image. Repeating or emphasizing it can symbolize the bigger idea and reinforce the theme.

Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery

Which choice best explains how genre shapes the reader’s understanding of the theme?

AText 1’s letter form uses direct explanation and advice to a recipient, while Text 2’s fable form uses a brief story that ends with a stated moral, leading the reader to the theme in different ways.

BText 1’s letter form forces it to use a brief story that ends with a stated moral, while Text 2’s fable form forces it to use direct explanation and advice to a recipient.

CGenre has no effect; any text would develop theme the same way.

DOnly myths can develop theme, so the other text cannot.

Solution & Explanation:Text 1 is a letter and uses direct explanation and advice to a recipient. Text 2 is a fable and uses a brief story that ends with a stated moral. Those genre features shape how the theme is developed.
