STANDARD: CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RST.6-8.2
Although this video is from a ninth-grade class, you can see how a teacher might develop a lesson to guide students to show mastery of this standard. (We used to call this "main idea".) Today's students must not only determine the "central theme" or summary of a text, but they are required to show evidence for those claims in writing. This is considered a "high-level" thinking skill and must be emphasized at all levels to prepare students for college and twenty-first century careers.
