use text evidence to support an appropriate response;
Consider pairing SE 3.7.B with SE 3.7.C and assess both SEs at the same time. With SE 3.7.B, students write a response to a literary or informational text that demonstrates an understanding of the text. Organize students in pairs and instruct them to read an informational text. Pose a question about a text feature that is included in the text. Then, task students to work with their partners to respond to the text feature question. Student responses should be supported with specific evidence from the text. Students should be able to point out the evidence to their partners.
When responding to a text, students need to use information directly taken from the text. It is important that students understand that their responses must be based on actual ideas presented in the text and not their personal opinions about the topic.
