Developed by classroom teachers during the development phase of Minnesota's Graduation Standards, this performance package is made up of locally designed assignments that, taken together, show whether a student has learned and can apply the knowledge and skills related to comprehending, interpreting, and evaluating information in fictional reading, viewing, and listening selections. It begins with reference to the particular content standard addressed in the package, the educational level of the package (middle schools), and a summary statement of the content standard. It then describes the tasks associated with the student performances: (1) develop and maintain a vocabulary log; (2) develop and maintain a fiction journal; (3) read a story or novel, create a "travel guide" to the fictional world of the story/novel, and write a sequel to the story/novel; and (4) read a novel and review it, basing evaluation on prescribed criteria. It then offers specific statements from the standard regarding what students should know and should do, the products, task description, special notes, and feedback checklists for each task enumerated in the package.
