evidence within the text.
Procedure:
After highlighting critical features within text and demonstrating
using models, teachers provide time for guided practice using the
graphic organizer:

evaluate evidence and reasoning. Students highlight critical features
of texts and begin to complete graphic organizers in pairs.
2) Students work independently after working in pairs. The teacher
provides support via prompting, as needed. Students continue to
highlight critical features of texts and complete graphic organizers.
