Description
This lesson introduces students to the skill of quoting and paraphrasing textual evidence in support of both explicit understanding and inferential thinking, in alignment with RL.5.1. Using an excerpt from The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe by C.S. Lewis, students will learn to distinguish between direct quotations and paraphrased ideas. Through guided reading, discussion, and interactive activities, they will practice accurately referencing the text and applying those references to explain meaning and draw inferences. The lesson emphasizes precision in language use and critical reading strategies that strengthen comprehension and analytical responses.
