ELAGSE4RI8: Explain how an author uses reasons and evidence to support particular points in a text.
Reasons and Evidence
In this standard, it is important that students look at the text with a critical eye and while reading ask the following questions. Why is it essential for authors to support their ideas? How do reasons and evidence support an author's particular points in a text? Does providing reasons and support bring validity to an author's particular points? Can I explain how an author uses specific reasons and evidence to support particular points within a text? Can I evaluate whether or not the reasons and evidence given support the particular points posed by the author?
