The teaching approach appears above.

Check understanding

  • 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
“When your child shares an opinion about a book — like "I think the villain had a point" — can they back it up with specific quotes or events from the text, rather than just saying how they feel?”
