Grade 6 Quiz Understanding Word Meanings and Analyzing Their Impact – RL.6.4

CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.6.4 emphasizes the importance of understanding the meaning of words and phrases in their context within a text, including both their literal (denotative) and implied (connotative) meanings. This standard also involves analyzing how an author’s specific choice of words affects the meaning and tone of the text, and how figurative language (like metaphors and similes) enhances literary works. It encourages students to delve deeper into the text to grasp nuances, themes, and emotions.
