Using Evidence In Text to Support Analysis Worksheets
Related ELA Standard: RL.6.1
The main thing that students need to learn, when using evidence, is that you can never cite too many references. When you present a claim and do not offer any evidence to support this, your claim is just that, an unvalidated claim. The best way to validate your claim is by using Explicit Textual Evidence. This is direct from the text and supports and validates your claim. These worksheets will help students use evidence to directly support their arguments to validate claims.
