Explaining Events & Ideas

English · Reading Comprehension · procedural

Explain events, procedures, ideas, or concepts in an informational text, including what happened and why, by citing specific textual evidence about causes, effects, and steps in a process

What mastery looks like

  • Explain a historical event described in an informational text by identifying both what happened and the causes leading to it, using specific details from the text
  • Describe the steps in a procedure or process presented in an informational text, explaining why each step is necessary based on information in the text
  • Identify cause-and-effect relationships between ideas or events in an informational passage and explain them using evidence from the text

Check your understanding

After reading a non-fiction article that explains how something works — like how volcanoes form — can Explaining Events & Ideas write down the main steps or causes in their own words, citing the specific evidence the author used?
