Reaching conclusions and inferences based on the evidence tracked and material read
The goal is: student uses a system of notating in the reading that tracks evidence for multiple questions or analyzations at one time. Students use those tracked pieces of evidence consistently in their responses.
You want to make sure that you KNOW what you are looking for and collecting both the inferred and explicit quotes that prove those things are in there.
Use a dialogue chart to organize the conclusions you come to, along with the quotes that match it that are the author's words.
Use a concept map to put those ideas into categories that can be organized into separate paragraphs inside an essay. Make sure you put ALL your ideas in the concept map, you want to fully explain your point.
Once you have your ideas organized and correlated to the quotes that are the authors words then you can explain what it all means, citing that evidence in a paragraph or multiple paragraphs.
