Common Core.
Sometimes I look over what my seventh grade students are expected to do and
become slightly overwhelmed. They are so
new to the concept of a rigorous, daily social studies course, and the reading
and writing tasks can be daunting. I am doing my best to break it
down for them visually so that the process is more easily understood. This week, we are focusing on the following
standard:
CCSS.ELA-Literacy.RH.6-8.1 Cite specific textual evidence to
support analysis of primary and secondary sources.
My students are
completing this chart to help them with the task of citing textual
evidence. While the initial set-up was
challenging for many of them, most have found success once I provided one-on-one support. I think this will be a graphic organizer we
go back to throughout the year, and I am hoping they will develop into text
evidence pros by June!
What are you using to teach ‘text evidence’ in your
classrooms?
