Break down these three different response methods - ACE, RACE, and RACES. Your students will go through a variety of literature to learn how to recognize each response method, how to utilize them while crafting responses, in close reading, and ways to extend practice beyond.

  Here's what's included:

• Five mini-lessons broken up by response type 
• Digital and PDF teaching slides for each lesson 
• Worksheets and student pages for each lesson
• Examples of each task. 

Your students will love learning, reviewing, and applying what they learned about citing text evidence using these scaffolded writing, speaking, and listening lessons. Each lesson builds on the previous one to allow you to increase the rigor each day while also having varied activities and assessments to keep students engaged.  

The activities that accompany these lessons are 100% done for you. You will simply need to print what you need or assign copies of the student's notebook in Google Classroom. Some lessons can be printed, prepped, and used year after year. 

Prep is quick and easy... Print the student workbook, set up your example or slides to be displayed, and teach each scaffolded lesson.
