Pages 1 and 2 are a text that makes a point with three reasons, then its questions. Page 3 is a shorter argument with questions, and page 4 sorts evidence under two points. Pages 5 and 6 are three texts on coral reefs, used together. Page 7 takes notes from any three texts on one topic.
Have students highlight the point in one color, each reason in another, and the evidence for each reason in a third. Then debate: which reason has the strongest evidence?
Read an opinion piece or a review together. Ask your child to find the point and one piece of evidence, and to say whether it convinced them.
Texts about barn owls, dead trees, penguins and coral reefs, written at a 5th grade level. Children explain how an author supports a point with reasons and evidence, decide which evidence supports which point, and use three texts together to explain a topic.
