ELAGSE5RI2: Provide students with several small informational pieces of text (short enough to fit on an index card in reasonably-sized type). Choose these excerpts purposefully so that they contain a main idea or assertion and clear evidence to back it up, but the text samples should be broad enough that the student will have to search for and discern what constitutes support and what does not. Have the students work with a partner to list the main idea and all supporting evidence for each card. After 5 or 10 cards, students will compare responses with a partner, discussing discrepancies in their perceptions of what constitutes main ideas and supporting evidence. In cases where their conclusions differ, students should engage in a collaborative discussion to arrive at a common answer. After they have one set of responses upon which they both agree, they will team up with another pair and repeat the process
