Common Core Standards
Grade 5
Writing W.5.9
Draw evidence from literary or informational texts to support analysis, reflection, and research.
This standard involves the use of evidence to bolster one's approach to a given writing project. Not too hard, right? Although your students have already dealt with this concept before, as this standard is identical to the comparable standard for the fourth grade, your goal is to make your students Sherlock Holmes-like in their obsession with evidence.
