Cite Text Evidence With Sentence Starters

Written by Adi Ackerman, Head Teacher

"Cite Text Evidence With Sentence Starters" is written for 6th Grade (Ages 11-12), and it covers Common Core W.6.9. If your student is a year younger but already steady on informative writing, the page still works. You may just need to read the instructions out loud. And if they are older and research and citations never quite stuck, this is a short review rather than busywork.

FAQ

How do I use this research and citations worksheet?

⌄

Use Paraphrase or Quote before Integrate Quotations Into Sentences. Research Notes Organizer works well as the first step of a short research report on tides.

What does this worksheet teach?

⌄

Answer 4 questions on an article about why leaves change color with sentence starters. Text evidence is a detail or an exact quote from a text that proves your answer. The directions on the page read: Read the article. Then answer the questions on page 2. An answer key is included.

Can I use this research and citations worksheet for homeschool or classroom?

⌄

Yes, both. We made it for 6th Grade informative writing, and the page works the same whether it lands on a kitchen table or a center rotation. At home, most families go through it together and talk the answers out loud, and that talking is where most of the learning happens with research and citations. In class it runs well as independent work while you pull a small group. Print one copy or thirty, whichever the day needs.

What is text evidence?

⌄

Text evidence is a detail or exact quote from a text that proves an answer. Cite Text Evidence gives four sentence starters, such as According to the text, for 4 questions about leaf color.

What are three ways to blend a quotation?

⌄

Integrate Quotations Into Sentences teaches a lead-in that names the speaker, a full sentence followed by a colon and a few quoted words woven into your own sentence.

How should students take research notes?

⌄

Write only the main facts in short phrases, use your own words and record the title and type of every source. Research Notes Organizer practices this with three practice sources about tides.
