Text Evidence

Worksheet Description

This worksheet is designed as an analytical tool for students to dissect how a formal concluding statement is constructed in a piece of writing. Students are expected to read an assigned text and then document how the author incorporates different elements of a concluding statement, such as signaling the end, reiterating the main idea, pointing out implications, and leaving the reader with a closing thought. The worksheet provides a structured format for students to list these elements alongside corresponding text evidence from the read material.

The worksheet’s goal is to teach students to recognize and understand the components that make up a strong conclusion in writing. It emphasizes the significance of each part of the conclusion and the role it plays in summarizing and finalizing the text. This task aims to develop students’ critical reading skills by analyzing text to identify specific writing strategies. Additionally, it prepares them to apply these strategies in their own writing, enhancing their ability to craft impactful concluding statements.
