utilizing study questions from achievethecore.org website which challenge students and require
them to cite text evidence to support their answers. Learning how to effectively implement text
evidence in their responses will benefit students because as they proceed with their education and
careers, they will need to cite evidence to support their arguments or to prove points in
presentations. Finding the language necessary to incorporate text evidence into their writing can
be difficult for some students which is why I feel it is important for them to practice this skill in
assignments. In addition, as Budd stated, this assignment is beneficial because it incorporates all
areas of the standards. Reading and writing are usually easily incorporated into the classroom.
However, by requiring students to discuss the content with their classmates, they are also
practicing listening and speaking skills. I have included sentence frames in the directions to aid
them in effectively communicating their ideas. Some of the questions in this study guide are
challenging for students. By discussing the content with their peers, not only will students better
internalize it, but conversations with their classmates may also clarify misconceptions they had
regarding the content, or could help offer a different viewpoint or understanding. I end the
listening and speaking activity by discussing answers to questions with students as a class to help
ensure students receive clarification needed before moving on.
