Author's Opinion (Informational)

With help, the student demonstrates partial success at 2.0 and 3.0.

I can know that a claim is an opinion or argument that can be supported with evidence.

I can explain the relationship between claims, reasons, and evidence.

I can describe the kinds of details that could be considered evidence (such as quotes from experts, facts, examples, personal experience).

I can explain how an author uses reasons and evidence to support particular points in a text.

I can identify which reasons and evidence an author uses to support key points.
