What This Standard Means
What Students Need to Do
- Students use annotations, charts, summaries, or short responses to examine ideas and details in a text. They create a written, spoken, or visual response that judges how well the text communicates or supports an idea.
What Mastery Looks Like
- Students select relevant details, organize them in a chart or response, and explain what those details show. They make a clear judgment about an idea and support it with evidence.
Common Misconceptions
- Students may retell the whole text instead of examining how its details support an idea. They may give an opinion without evidence or copy sentences without explaining why they matter.
How to Assess It
- Give students a short paragraph and ask them to complete three boxes: main idea, strongest supporting detail, and why that detail is effective.

Ways to Teach It
Give groups sentence strips from a passage and have them sort details under “supports the main idea” or “does not support it.”
Ask, “Which detail best explains the author’s idea?” Students write one answer and cite the detail.
Play Evidence Match: students pair idea cards with detail cards, then explain each match to a partner.
Compare two school event flyers, then create a recommendation card naming the clearer flyer and two reasons.
