Hello! Today we had a discussion about explaining evidence in the literary essays. I gave students the following sentence starters which will lead them into an explanatory sentence. Students practiced using these and putting them into their paragraphs.
Ways to Analyze Evidence:
- This shows...because
- It is important to notice...
- ______means_________, therefore
- This is significant because
- Even though...
After using these, students shared with a partner how their explanations more strongly supported their evidence. Students continued typing their essays.
H/W:
