The LRA is an example of my best work because it demonstrates mastery to specific standards. For instance, the literary response log demonstrates proficiency in the second reading standard. The second reading standard is the ability to determine a theme of a text and its impact and connection to other parts of the story. It is demonstrated by the LRA because in the LRA for “Bums in the Attic”, states, “ The idea of having ‘bums’ in her attic that Esperanza is humble and kind. It shows that Esperanza is humble and kind because the vignette, ‘Bums in the Attic’, states…”. This is an example of complete mastery of the second reading standard due to me being able to analyze the text and make connections to the characters, plot, and setting as well
