# TAHSTL.RE.1: Dramatic Literature Evaluation

Evaluate various aspects of dramatic arts literature using appropriate supporting evidence.

- Subject: English Language Arts
- Appears in: Grade 12, https://georgiahomeroom.org/standards/ela/grade-12.md

## Expectations

- **TAHSTL.RE.1.a**: Compare and summarize theatre literature from various historical periods, cultures, and styles.
- **TAHSTL.RE.1.b**: Develop and apply a set of comprehensive criteria for theatre text analysis.
- **TAHSTL.RE.1.c**: Compare and contrast theatre texts to live/film performance.
- **TAHSTL.RE.1.d**: Determine the meaning of words and phrases as they are used in the text, including figurative and connotative meanings; analyze the cumulative impact of specific word choices on meaning and tone (e.g., how the language evokes a sense of time and place; how it sets a formal or informal tone.)
- **TAHSTL.RE.1.e**: Analyze how an author’s choices concerning how to structure a text, order events within it (e.g., parallel plots), and manipulate time (e.g., pacing, flashbacks) create such effects as mystery, tension, or surprise.
- **TAHSTL.RE.1.f**: Analyze a particular point of view or cultural experience reflected in a work of literature from outside the United States, drawing on a wide reading of world literature.
- **TAHSTL.RE.1.g**: Analyze the representation of a subject or a key scene in two or three different artistic mediums (e.g., a play, a movie, and a television show), including what is emphasized or absent in each treatment.
- **TAHSTL.RE.1.h**: Analyze how an author draws on and transforms source material in a specific work (e.g., how Shakespeare treats a theme or topic from Ovid or the Bible or how a later author draws on a play by Shakespeare).
