Justifying Views About Texts

English · Reading Comprehension · procedural

Provide reasoned justifications for views about texts, supporting interpretations and opinions with evidence and logical arguments

What mastery looks like

  • State an opinion about a character's motivations and support it with three pieces of textual evidence
  • Construct a reasoned argument about an author's message using quotes from the text
  • Respond to an alternative interpretation by providing counter-evidence from the text
