Help students connect textual evidence to their conclusions

Use this two-column worksheet to help students record specific details from a text and explain what those details lead them to conclude.

Use the four blank evidence-and-conclusion rows for independent reading, partner conversations, group analysis, or quick checks for understanding.

Independent work

Match details with conclusions

Have students record evidence from a reading in the left column and explain what each detail suggests in the right column.

Partner discussion

Explain how the evidence connects

Ask partners to compare their conclusions and discuss whether the recorded evidence supports each interpretation.

Small-group work

Compare interpretations of one text

Give groups the same passage and have students discuss the evidence they selected and the conclusions they drew.

Exit ticket

Ask students to complete one evidence-and-conclusion pair so you can see how well they connect their interpretations to the text.
