Original Prompt

I need to create stations to reteach students who have not mastered the content yet. The first station should center on Kentucky standard RL.8.1/RI.8.1, citing text evidence. The activity needs to be self-grading so students can see their progress.

This learning resource focuses on the concept of citing textual evidence in literary and informational texts. It guides students in understanding the distinction between explicit evidence (directly stated) and inferred evidence (suggested indirectly). Through examples and exercises, students learn to identify explicit details and make inferences based on textual clues. The resource includes guided practice, where students analyze excerpts and practice their skills in citing evidence, as well as reflection on their learning and growth in this critical academic skill. It emphasizes the importance of connecting analysis to the text to support arguments effectively.
