Analyzing Evidence
Once students have learned how to identify evidence in a text, they are ready to analyze the type of evidence and investigate how it is used. Analyzing a speaker/writer's evidence will help students understand how evidence is used to support an argument and how they can use strong evidence in their own writing.

Literacy Standards In Action
We've mapped our literacy lessons and reading, speaking, and writing skills to state standards, Common Core, and NGSS. The standards are "the what" to teach. Our lessons are "the how" to meet the expectations defined by the standards. Click on the links below to view our quick reference table that maps standards to literacy lessons.
R8
Delineate and evaluate the argument and specific claims in a text, including the validity of the reasoning as well as the relevance and sufficiency of the evidence.
SL3
Evaluate a speaker’s point of view, reasoning, and use of evidence and rhetoric.
