One of our main learning targets for the first part of the year is to: Quote accurately from a text when explaining what the text says and when explaining our ideas about the text. (CCSS ELA 5.1) This is an essential skill when are communicating our thoughts and understandings about what we read. To practice this, we have been working on reading responses that include quotes that back up our ideas. We also have to explain how the quote proves our ideas. Below is a link to some excellent examples of using quotes from a text to support ideas about the text. These examples were in response to the question, "In the personal narrative Eating The World (or Fireflies), what are two techniques that the author uses to engage the reader? Give specific examples from the text to support your answer." Examples of Excellence!
