ELA.CCSS.ELA-Literacy.W.9-10.9

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

Encourage your pupils to support their claims with textual evidence, whether is is from literary texts or informational texts. You might use the assignment example, which suggests an assignment on what it's like to be an immigrant in America, or simply apply the idea to another assignment. Check for learner understanding of the Common Core Standard W.9-10.9 with the brief included quiz.
