Text Evidence Sub Plan (No Prep): Prove It, Grades 5-6 Reading

Students are fact checkers. They read a school newsletter article, "The Fairhaven Paddle Club," and then judge six claims about the club: is each one proved, not proved, or contradicted? For every claim they copy the exact sentence that proves or disproves it, in quotation marks, with its paragraph number. For a claim that is not proved, they copy the closest sentence and say what it does not tell them.
