Original PromptCreate a one-page guided note/reference sheet for my 7th grade ELA class based on this standard: Standard 7-8.R.5:
Cite textual evidence that supports an analysis of what the text says explicitly as well as inferences drawn from the text.
This learning resource focuses on helping students differentiate between explicit information presented in texts and inferences drawn from that information, alongside their own background knowledge. The lesson includes definitions of both terms, a comparison between what the text states and what can be inferred, and a guide on proper citation methods to support literary analysis. Students will practice identifying explicit evidence and making inferences based on a sample text, thereby enhancing their analytical skills and critical thinking in reading literature or informational texts.
