Evidence selection gives Grade 8 ELA students focused Reading and Viewing practice built around choosing and working with evidence in a structured worksheet setting.

Practice built around evidence selection

This resource centers on the lesson topic of Evidence Selection and gives students several ways to respond to the topic. The worksheet includes multiple-choice questions, true-or-false questions, short-answer responses, a reading passage, an essay, and a short note. This combination moves students from concise responses into more developed written work while keeping the lesson focus on evidence selection.

What students work with

• Evidence Selection within an ELA Reading and Viewing context.
• Questions that ask students to respond through selected and written formats.
• A reading passage that supports work within the lesson topic.

• A short note activity and Student Notes lines at the bottom of the worksheet.

Practical Grade 8 classroom use
