Which elements would be appropriate tasks in a unit that integrates digital literacy with traditional literary analysis?

• A. Include tasks like evaluating online sources, citing digital texts, using annotation tools, creating multimedia presentations, and ensuring information literacy.
• B. Integrate digital literacy through evaluating online sources, annotating digital texts, citing sources, and producing multimedia projects.
• C. Prohibit digital tools to maintain traditional analysis only.
• D. Limit assessment to multiple-choice quizzes.

Answer: (B)

Integrating digital literacy with literary analysis means designing tasks where students actively work with digital texts and online information as part of interpreting literature. The best fit invites students to evaluate online sources, annotate digital texts, cite sources, and produce multimedia projects. These activities require assessing credibility, engaging with digital formats, attributing ideas properly, and communicating their analysis through digital media—combining close reading with responsible digital communication.

This emphasis stays focused on practical, real-world tasks students would perform in a literate, digital environment. An option that adds broad outcomes or tool-specific phrasing can muddy the focus, and approaches that prohibit digital tools or rely only on multiple-choice quizzes fail to develop the essential skills of evaluation, annotation, citation, and multimedia communication.
