Description
Do your students know how to adequately show evidence from the text when they are asked? We often take for granted that students automatically know how to do this.
Use my Show Evidence From the Text: Nonfiction Reading Practice resource to help your students! This resource includes a visual aid to help students remember, as well as three nonfiction passages with questions to practice citing evidence from the text. Suggested answers for each question (and identification of evidence from the passage) ARE included. UPDATED to include a link to use for Google Slides. It's also available for digital use via Easel.
Students will enjoy the interesting nonfiction reading passages which feature the following topics:
• A woman and her son are sprayed with poop from a plane flying overhead.
• A woman takes in two kittens only to find out they are baby bobcats.
• A federal court rules on whether a monkey (or any animal/non-human) can sue for copyright infringement.
The file is a non-editable PDF file. It is meant to be printed and shared with your students. UPDATED to also include a Google Slides version with text boxes for students to respond digitally.
