Text Evidence

Lesson Overview: This Byte Path focuses on helping students explore central themes in a text, such as survival, human arrogance, and nature’s power, by analyzing and citing specific textual evidence. The objectives include:
  • Identifying specific evidence that supports statements made in the text.
  • Practicing how to cite textual evidence that explicitly backs up these statements.
  • Finding and citing textual evidence that supports inferences made about the text's deeper meaning.
Students will evaluate how the protagonist's actions and decisions illustrate these themes, enhancing their ability to connect evidence with larger ideas in the text.
