RL.9-10.9

Source Material

• original text from which later writers draw inspiration

• Writers choose which elements of the original to preserve and which to change or transform.

This TRANSFORMATION challenges readers to see famous characters or plots in new light and to broaden or question their understanding of the source material's original themes by framing them in a different context.

Sometimes writers TRANSFORM the source material so that the new work explores dimensions not present in the original.

Apply this standard while you read.
