Planning notes for this lesson
Prerequisite skills to check: quoting accurately from a text when explaining what it says and when drawing inferences (RI.5.1); citing textual evidence to support analysis (RI.6.1); telling an explicit statement apart from an inference.
Warm-up idea: Show a short news paragraph and two student answers to "Was the town ready for the storm?": one with no evidence and one with two quoted lines and an explanation. Ask which answer they would believe and why.
Exit ticket idea: Students read a short informational article, answer one explicit question and one inference question, and support each answer with two pieces of cited evidence (quoted or paraphrased) plus one sentence explaining how the evidence proves the point.
Always check the AI's plan and answers before you teach.
