Description

Your students will easily cite text evidence! This No-Prep Step-by-Step Text Evidence Mastery unit uses a student-centered approach with text evidence passages, modeling, mentor texts, text evidence task cards, citing text evidence worksheets, and more. With a carefully scaffolded curriculum, students will learn to identify, evaluate, and effectively utilize textual evidence. Get ready for increased reading comprehension! SEE PREVIEW!

This unit caters to a diverse range of grade levels, from basic to advanced, and ensures progressive skill development. It is a standards-based unit that incorporates RACE, ACE, or RACES strategies for inference, citing evidence, paraphrasing, and quoting. It is beneficial when preparing for state tests or assessments that require text-dependent analysis.

INCLUDED IN THIS STEP-BY-STEP TEXT EVIDENCE UNIT:

1. SCRIPTED LESSON PLANS AND SUGGESTED MENTOR TEXT LIST: These plans take the guesswork out of teaching text evidence. Differentiation and extension activities are included.

2. WARM-UP ACTIVITY: Get students excited with a mystery introduction.

3. ANCHOR CHARTS: Text Evidence Anchor Charts and examples for:

  • What is text evidence?
  • How to provide text evidence using RACES, RACE, or ACE (I got you covered!)
  • How to RESTATE a question
  • How to ANSWER questions
  • Prior Knowledge
  • Inferences
  • How to CITE EVIDENCE
  • How to EXPLAIN
  • Paraphrasing using RAP
  • Quoting
  • How to SUM IT UP

4. MINI-LESSON PRACTICE PAGES: Students will build confidence by practicing each mini-lesson.

5. FIVE DIFFERENTIATION PASSAGES WITH OPEN-ENDED QUESTIONS: The three LEXILE LEVELS for each of the high-interest informative reading passages are 500, 700, & 950 (Gr. 4-6). One is used as an assessment.

6. INTERACTIVE NOTES (DIFFERENTIATED): There are notes for every anchor chart. The digital version features fill-in-the-box notes, while the printable version offers four choices. (all notes included, sentence frames, write all notes, mini-anchor chart, and a no-cut-and-paste option) Mini-anchor charts are great for absent students or saving time.

7. TASK CARDS: 24 task cards with multiple-choice and open-ended questions for step-by-step practice. The printable version is perfect for centers and posting around the room (directions and template included). The digital version comes in GOOGLE SLIDES AND FORMS.

8. BONUS ACTIVITIES: Directions for a hands-on activity are included. A book response page and two graphic organizers can also be used with any book.

9. TRACKING FORM: Track each student's progress.

I use this resource every year without doubt. I like to print and create a booklet for my students so they have access to the RACES strategy at their fingertips. It even comes with some task cards which are low prep and can be a great resource for substitute days. I love the passages and how they provide a rigorous but achievable level of challenge for students. I'd highly recommend this resource to my fellow teachers, I absolutely love it and use it without doubt every year, even if I moved from 6th grade.
