Home > English Language Arts Worksheets > Reading Comprehension Worksheets > 10th Grade

The goal with readers at the 10th grade level is to encourage them to use their own background and experiences to connect with literature. We ask them to look deeply to attempt to interpret what the author was trying to accomplish whether it be through the characters or the basic premise of the story or event that they are discovering. We ask readers to take their time and outline, skim, and note take as the works are much lengthy than previous grades. Students often start to see classical works of literature at this level and teachers work to help the readers connect those stories and lessons taught to their modern lives. When it comes to opinion pieces teachers strive to help students spot faulty arguments that are based on facts or clear inferences. Students are asked to be able to decipher tone, mood, context, and language in a logical manner. The main theme that seems to come up often, at this grade level, is focused on making sure students can cite reference that they found themselves. This is a critical skill in life that should follow students into college and eventually into their everyday work day. The series also focuses on helping students understand the central theme of the work and the cumulative impact of the tone of a body of work.

These worksheets will provide students with lengthy bodies of work to examine and understand. The questions that are posed to them are meant to incite a deeper sense of understanding behind the purpose of the work. 10th grade students will also get an opportunity to discover some classic excerpts from literature of the past. You will find that their ability to succeed with the questions will improve greatly when they are discussed in a class setting. Before you complete all the worksheets below, make sure that you have mastered the previous grade level and then come back to this section. We often see spiral analyses skills between the early High School years.

How to Remember What You Read

We live in the information age, so it's important to have an effective reading strategy to make sure you don't lose all the great knowledge you consume. From public speaking to your next job interview, knowing how to remember what you read will help you impress people and get ahead at work, school, and life in general. The frustration after finishing an interesting article only to discover that you've already forgotten what it was about is worse! Luckily, there are ways to make sure this doesn't happen to you, and all it takes is some smart research and the right tools.

Here are a few ways to remember what you read, guaranteed to keep important information at the forefront of your mind.

1.Understand That Your Brain Focuses on Stories

Over thousands of years, the human brain has evolved to prioritize processing visual and verbal information. This means that it's easier for our brain to retain information when it's presented in story form.

If you have a big project or essay coming up, try breaking down your work into smaller pieces-and then use each piece as a step in a narrative arc. That way, your brain will have an easier time keeping track of everything. This is also why our brain loves processing fiction and remembers it more.

2. Ask Questions About the Content

Asking questions while reading is an incredibly effective way to remember what you read. When you finish a chapter or a section, ask yourself: What was most important in that section? Why? Have I ever seen information like that before? If so, where? Why does it matter?

Once you've finished reading something and asked yourself some questions about it, try putting your newfound knowledge into practice by summarizing (in writing) what you've learned. This forces your brain to really understand and grapple with what you're learning—and then apply it! The more active you are with new content, the more likely it you'll retain it.

3. Visualize Yourself While Reading

Whether you're reading a book, newspaper, or magazine, visualizing yourself reading each page can be a powerful tool. Creating pictures in your mind of what you read and picturing yourself as an active participant in what you're reading will reinforce new knowledge and make it easier to remember later on.

If any ideas particularly resonate with you while reading, visualizing these concepts can help them stick in your memory. So, start imagining right now!

4. Repeat Important Words or Sentences Out Loud

In a study published by Harvard University, researchers discovered that students who read information out loud performed better on tests of that information than students who simply read it silently. Not only did they have more words down cold, but repeating key phrases helped them retain more information long-term.

When you're reviewing material for an upcoming exam, try highlighting important facts and rereading them aloud several times over—this extra effort will pay off when test day comes around.

5. Avoid Skimming Through

To retain more of what you read, don't just skim through and let your eyes drift from side to side. Focus on one or two pieces of information at a time, then put down your reading material and review those key points in your mind before moving on.

After you've gone over them, turn back to your reading material. Repeat as necessary. If you want to make sure you remember what you're learning, try putting it into your own words-it helps solidify it in your memory.

Reading more improves memory. But how can you make sure you remember what you read?Experiment with which strategy works best for you and add them to your routine. These methods will also help you learn faster and retain more of what you read in your day-to-day life. Put them all together, and soon, reading won't be a chore anymore—it'll be fun!

10th Grade ELA Course Summary

In 10th Grade English Language Arts, students explore the tension between being selfless and selfish, between being an individual and being part of a community through diverse, rigorous, and relevant texts from the twentieth and twenty-first centuries: Fahrenheit 451 , Sula , Men We Reaped , A Streetcar Named Desire , Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom , and thematically aligned texts: short stories, articles, poems, and digital media . Students will examine the things, people, and places that motivate people to act in the best interests of others. Across the 5 units, students deepen their paragraph writing skills through narrative, opinion, analytical, and informational writing tasks.

Building upon the knowledge and English Language Arts skills they’ve developed in previous years, students deeply engage with complex texts through both independent reading and guided Close Reading, prepare for and engage in longform whole class discussions including Socratic Seminars , and write multi-paragraph responses to Essential Questions by gathering evidence and effectively communicating their thoughts. 

Please Note:  Over the course of the 2023–24 school year, the Fishtank team will be revising the 10th Grade ELA units to refine the sequence of texts we offer and provide deeper, more aligned support for teachers and students. The complete revised 10th Grade ELA course will be available for the 2024–25 school year.

What Do Students Learn in High School English Language Arts?

High school is an important phase of one's academic life, as the knowledge gained during these four years will help one throughout his or her professional life. Till high school, most of the students have already developed strong reading and writing skills. Still, teachers in high school do focus on written and spoken content of the English language. It is a must for high school students to have an excellent pronunciation, punctuation, and vocabulary.

Given below are some of the most important things that high school students learn during their English language arts class:

Writing Skills

During high school, students learn a lot of new and unique writing skills. With the help of these writing skills, high school students can write essays, stories, and letters in a way that reflects their mastery of language and other such skills. During high school, students are also taught how to write narrative, descriptive, expository, persuasive, and argumentative content.

Reading Skills

High school students should read as much as possible. In high school, students are taught how to make inferences, how to grab the main idea of any written text, and how to read between the lines. High school students must also know a lot of new words and reading helps them to learn some new and unique words all the time.

High school teachers should focus on student's vocabulary and pronunciation. Teachers should tell students one or two new words daily along with their spellings, meaning, correct pronunciation, and should encourage students to use that word in their daily life. Once a week, a class should be organized in which students are asked to verbally communicate with each other or give a speech on a specified topic. This will help students in improving their pronunciation and enhancing their speaking skills.

AI fake nudes are booming. It’s ruining real teens’ lives.

Artificial intelligence makes it frighteningly easy to transform ordinary pictures into realistic nudes, triggering a surge of fake images of women and teens.

When Gabi Belle learned there was a naked photo of her circulating on the internet, her body turned cold. The YouTube influencer had never posed for the image, which showed her standing in a field without clothes. She knew it must be fake.

But when Belle, 26, messaged a colleague asking for help removing the image he told her there were nearly 100 fake photos scattered across the web, mostly housed on websites known for hosting porn generated by artificial intelligence. They were taken down in July, Belle said, but new images depicting her in graphic sexual situations have already surfaced.

“I felt yucky and violated,” Belle said in an interview. “Those private parts are not meant for the world to see because I have not consented to that. So it’s really strange that someone would make images of me.”

Artificial intelligence is fueling an unprecedented boom this year in fake pornographic images and videos. It’s enabled by a rise in cheap and easy-to-use AI tools that can “undress” people in photographs — analyzing what their naked bodies would look like and imposing it into an image — or seamlessly swap a face into a pornographic video.

On the top 10 websites that host AI-generated porn photos, fake nudes have ballooned by more than 290 percent since 2018, according to Genevieve Oh, an industry analyst. These sites feature celebrities and political figures such as New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez alongside ordinary teenage girls, whose likenesses have been seized by bad actors to incite shame, extort money or live out private fantasies.

Victims have little recourse. There’s no federal law governing deepfake porn, and only a handful of states have enacted regulations. President Biden’s AI executive order issued Monday recommends, but does not require, companies to label AI-generated photos, videos and audio to indicate computer-generated work.

Meanwhile, legal scholars warn that AI fake images may not fall under copyright protections for personal likenesses, because they draw from data sets populated by millions of images. “This is clearly a very serious problem,” said Tiffany Li, a law professor at the University of San Francisco.

The advent of AI images comes at a particular risk for women and teens, many of whom aren’t prepared for such visibility. A 2019 study by Sensity AI, a company that monitors deepfakes, found 96 percent of deepfake images are pornography, and 99 percent of those photos target women.

“It’s now very much targeting girls,” said Sophie Maddocks, a researcher and digital rights advocate at the University of Pennsylvania. “Young girls and women who aren’t in the public eye.”

‘Look, Mom. What have they done to me?’

On Sept. 17, Miriam Al Adib Mendiri was returning to her home in southern Spain from a trip when she found her 14-year-old daughter distraught. Her daughter shared a nude picture of herself.

“Look, Mom. What have they done to me?” Al Adib Mendiri recalled her daughter saying.

She’d never posed nude. But a group of local boys had grabbed clothed photos from the social media profiles of several girls in their town and used an AI “nudifier” app to create the naked pictures, according to police.

Scarlett Johansson on fake AI-generated sex videos: ‘Nothing can stop someone from cutting and pasting my image’

The application is one of many AI tools that use real images to create naked photos, which have flooded the web recent months. By analyzing millions of images, AI software can better predict how a body will look naked and fluidly overlay a face into a pornographic video, said Gang Wang, an expert in AI at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.

Though many AI image-generators block users from creating pornographic material, open source software, such as Stable Diffusion, makes its code public, letting amateur developers adapt the technology — often for nefarious purposes. (Stability AI, the maker of Stable Diffusion, did not return a request for comment.)

Once these apps are public, they use referral programs that encourage users to share these AI-generated photos on social media in exchange for cash, Oh said.

When Oh examined the top 10 websites that host fake porn images, she found more than 415,000 had been uploaded this year, garnering nearly 90 million views.

AI-generated porn videos have also exploded across the web. After scouring the 40 most popular websites for faked videos, Oh found more than 143,000 videos had been added in 2023 — a figure that surpasses all new videos from 2016 to 2022. The fake videos have received more than 4.2 billion views, Oh found.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation warned in June of an uptick of sexual extortion from scammers demanding payment or photos in exchange for not distributing sexual images. While it’s unclear what percentage of these images are AI-generated, the practice is expanding. As of September, over 26,800 people have been victims of “sextortion” campaigns, a 149 percent rise from 2019, the FBI told The Post.

‘You’re not safe as a woman’

In May, a poster on a popular pornography forum started a thread called “I can fake your crush.” The idea was simple: “Send me whoever you want to see nude and I can fake them” using AI, the moderator wrote.

Within hours, photos of women came flooding in. “Can u do this girl? not a celeb or influencer,” one poster asked. “My co-worker and my neighbor?” another one added.

Minutes after a request, a naked version of the image would appear on the thread. “Thkx a lot bro, it’s perfect,” one user wrote.

These fake images reveal how AI amplifies our worst stereotypes

Celebrities are a popular target for fake porn creators aiming to capitalize on search interest for nude photos of famous actors. But websites featuring famous people can lead to a surge in other kinds of nudes. The sites often include “amateur” content from unknown individuals and host ads that market AI porn-making tools.

Google has polices in place to prevent nonconsensual sexual images from appearing in search results, but its protections for deepfake images are not as robust. Deepfake porn and the tools to make it show up prominently on the company’s search engines, even without specifically searching for AI-generated content. Oh documented more than a dozen examples in screenshots, which were independently confirmed by The Post.

Ned Adriance, a spokesman for Google, said in a statement the company is “actively working to bring more protections to search” and that the company lets users request the removal of involuntary fake porn.

Google is in the process of “building more expansive safeguards” that would not require victims to individually request content gets taken down, he said.

Li, of the University of San Francisco, said it can be hard to penalize creators of this content. Section 230 in the Communications Decency Act shields social media companies from liability for the content posted on their sites, leaving little burden for websites to police images.

Victims can request that companies remove photos and videos of their likeness. But because AI draws from a plethora of images in a data set to create a faked photo, it’s harder for a victim to claim the content is derived solely from their likeness, Li said.

“Maybe you can still say: ‘It’s a copyright violation, it’s clear they took my original copyrighted photo and then just added a little bit to it,’” Li said. “But for deep fakes … it’s not that clear … what the original photos were.”

See why AI like ChatGPT has gotten so good, so fast

In the absence of federal laws, at least nine states — including California, Texas and Virginia — have passed legislation targeting deepfakes. But these laws vary in scope: In some states victims can press criminal charges, while others only allow civil lawsuits — though it can be difficult to ascertain whom to sue.

The push to regulate AI-generated images and videos is often intended to prevent mass distribution, addressing concerns about election interference, said Sam Gregory, executive director of the tech human rights advocacy organization Witness.

But these rules do little for deepfake porn, where images shared in small groups can wreak havoc on a person’s life, Gregory added.

Belle, the YouTube influencer, is still unsure how many deepfake photos of her are public and said stronger rules are needed to address her experience.

“You’re not safe as a woman,” she said.
