​ **__Reading and Responding __**

Interpreting texts means looking for meaning and reading at a deeper level. This means not just finding out what happens in the plot. You also need to  · Discover the reasons why the author may have constructed events they way he/she did  · Understand how the themes and ideas are conveyed  · Identify the style features and conventions used by the author  · Understand the author's point of view and how they position the reader  · Identify the cultural, social and historical values in the text  · Understand different readings and alternative points of view on the text
