question
Wednesday 8/31/16 ELA
Overview of evidence-based questions:
Part A
Part B (the evidence for the answer to Part A)
Helpful hints:
The answer for Part A must be something you can
provide evidence for from Part B. Therefore, it
may help to work backwards (like checking your
work for a math problem).
Always choose the “best” answer! (more than
one may seem correct)
For the first 4 questions, you may work with your
partner. Then, you’ll independently answer the last
2.
Read the questions (parts A and B before you
choose)
Review answers:
1. Part A. C
2. Part B. A D
3. Part A. C
4. Part B. B H
5. Part A. B
