Citing Evidence, Central Idea, and Supporting Details We hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving Break! This week students will be reading to determine the central idea of a text and to analyze its development over the course of the text, including its relationship to supporting ideas and providing an objective summary of the text. Students will also be focusing on reading informational text to cite the textual evidence that most strongly supports an analysis of what the text says explicitly as well as inferences drawn from the text. Supporting evidence proves a claim to be true. Supporting evidence can be paraphrased, directly quoted or summarized. Supporting evidence is a crucial part in writing a paragraph or an essay. Wednesday, students will be applying these skills as they take an assessment in the Wildcat Lab. Thursday, our class is scheduled to visit the Learning Commons for books check in/out. Then students will work on writing a short explanatory essay on the topic Utopian Ideals and Dystopian Reality. Students will incorporate using quotations from a text to support their ideas. This essay is due Friday and must be written in class.
