For the question about how literature supports the building of a reader's imagination, the correct answer is A. readers are placing themselves into a story. Literature often provides vivid descriptions and engaging narratives that allow readers to mentally visualize and become immersed in the story's world. This process of visualization and imagination-building is a key aspect of connecting the reader to the story and expanding their understanding of different perspectives and experiences.
To answer the second question about integrating literature into a content area, the correct answer is C. Language arts. Integrating literature into language arts involves using literature as a tool to foster reading comprehension, language development, and critical thinking skills. In the given example, Mr. Simon used the book The Village of Round and Square Houses to spark a discussion and hands-on activity related to the story's content. This activity helps students analyze and understand the information presented in the literary text while also enhancing language skills and creativity.
