Grade 6 Quiz Determining Theme and Summarizing – RL.6.2

The standard CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.6.2 emphasizes the ability of students to identify the theme or central idea of a text, understand how this is expressed through specific details, and summarize the text without interjecting personal opinions or judgments. This skill involves extracting the overarching message or lesson that the author wishes to convey and being able to distill the text’s contents objectively.
