A fourth-grade teacher would like to promote students' comprehension and critical
analysis of literary texts by helping them draw more effective conclusions. The
teacher could best achieve this goal by providing the students with explicit
instruction and guided practice in:
A. citing evidence from a text to support their responses to the text.
B. developing a story map of a text to keep track of the text's key elements.
C. using their prior experiences to make personal connections to a text.
D. creating a graphic organizer to identify relationships between a text's
characters.
