Introduction
(2 minutes)
- Activate prior knowledge by asking students where they get information. Allow them to talk to a partner before sharing out to the whole group.
- Facilitate a class discussion about where we get information (e.g., movies, books, conversations with family and friends, experiences, television) and point out that a lot of what we learn comes from some form of text. We can often pick out the exact words in a text that helped teach us something.
- Go over the language objective with the class, and explain that today's lesson will be about picking out the evidence from a text that helps us answer questions.
