ELA10.11

Apply comprehension and metacognitive strategies that deepen understanding and analysis when reading, listening and viewing.

Indicators for this outcome
(a) Apply global, problem-solving and support strategies to monitor learning and deepen comprehension when reading, listening and viewing (see Appendix B and Appendix C).
(b) Make and refine predictions before and during reading, listening, or viewing by drawing on titles, genre features, prior knowledge and contextual clues.
(c) Establish a specific purpose before reading, listening, and viewing (e.g., understanding argument, identifying genre features, evaluating author's stance) and adjust strategies (e.g., shifting from skimming to close reading when a key argument or tone shift appears) as new information is encountered.
(d) Identify when understanding breaks down and use strategies (e.g., re-reading, summarizing, slowing down pace, asking questions for clarification) to improve comprehension.
(e) Apply morphology strategies by analyzing word parts (i.e., roots, prefixes, suffixes) to decode unfamiliar vocabulary and enhance comprehension.
(f) Engage with texts multiple times for distinct purposes (e.g., first encounter for basic comprehension, second for analyzing structure or language features, third for interpreting author’s/creator’s craft, tone or deeper meanings).
(g) Explain how recognizing genre-specific craft techniques during reading, listening or viewing (e.g., narrative suspense, persuasive appeals, poetic repetition) enhances comprehension, supports interpretation and deepens awareness of purpose and audience impact.
(h) Use support strategies during and after reading, listening or viewing (e.g., annotating texts, posing questions, taking structured notes, using graphic organizers) to map key ideas and analyze texts.
(i) Visualize complex descriptions or abstract ideas that enhance understanding of challenging sections.
(j) Reflect on the effectiveness of personal comprehension strategies post-task by identifying what worked, what was challenging and setting specific future goals.
