How can authors succeed in convincing readers about the point of view they state in their texts? They must also explain their reasons and back them up with evidence, of course! In this instructional video, you will learn all about the importance of using reasons and evidence to back up a claim in an informational text.
This video is aligned with CCSS.ELA-Literacy.W.4.9.b: "Apply grade 4 Reading standards to informational texts (e.g., “Explain how an author uses reasons and evidence to support particular points in a text”)."
The video is part of a broader lesson plan that is also aligned with the standard above, and which can be accessed, together with an interactive game and other fun, educational resources, at Snowflake.live.
