From Reading to Evidence:
Teaching Students to Analyze, Cite, and Write with Purpose
Dea Palotta Auray, CEO/Founder of Empowering Writers
|
Students in grades 3–8 (with adaptations for grade 2) learn to “read with the author’s eyes,” analyzing text structure, genre, and author’s purpose to strengthen comprehension and writing. Grounded in the Massachusetts ELA/Literacy Frameworks, this session focuses on instructional practices that support close reading, analysis, and evidence-based writing.
Through purposeful annotation, text-dependent questions, and structured response tasks, students examine how authors develop ideas and use that understanding to write clear, evidence-based responses. Participants will see how these routines scale across grade levels—from early responses to more developed analytical writing in upper grades. Teachers will explore practical strategies to help students cite relevant evidence, explain their thinking, and build independence across content areas. |
