This document focuses on the literary analysis of STEM-themed stories, specifically guiding students to explore literary elements such as theme, conflict, and main ideas. It includes comprehensive learning objectives aimed at enhancing understanding of these elements through close reading and textual evidence. Students engage with specific vocabulary relevant to both literature and STEM, such as 'solar energy' and 'conflict.' The resource outlines various reading strategies, sentence frames for articulating thoughts, and guided questions to facilitate deeper exploration of the text. Through a narrative centered around a school’s energy crisis, students learn to identify conflicts, collaborate to find solutions, and reflect on personal and community connections to STEM themes. The guide ultimately fosters critical thinking and academic language development within the framework of literary study.
