Introduction
(5 minutes)
- Write the word "evidence" in the middle of a piece of chart paper. Ask students to consider the term evidence and talk to a partner about what they think the word means.
- Invite them to share their responses and write them down around the word on the chart paper. Affirm their ideas and background knowledge before reading the student-friendly definition of evidence. Elaborate that when readers interact or make meaning of a text, it is important to provide evidence that supports their thinking.
- Tell students that today they will learn how to cite the text as evidence when making inferences with the help of introductory phrases.
