Critical thinkers:

- formulate productive questions;
- use textual evidence to support individual interpretations; and
- draw upon several different critical approaches to literature in English.
Effective speakers:

- listen respectfully to others’ opinions; and
- work in class whether through active listening or discussion to learn by synthesizing a range of texts, insights, and opinions.
