Show me the evidence. Writers analyze the Command of Evidence row of the rubric for A Long Walk to Water essay. Pupils work in pairs to determine how the writer of a model essay meets the demands of the rubric. They then use a Forming Evidence-Based Claims graphic organizer to begin gathering ideas for their own essays and complete an exit ticket of their learning.
