Close reading is a major focus of the CCSS.
This organizer/worksheet helps students organize CLOSE READING findings when they investigate a non-fiction text. Inferring, activating prior knowledge, identifying text structure, noticing non fiction text features, citing evidence, drawing conclusions, determining main idea and summarizing are all skills and strategies that are addressed in this organizer. Great CENTER ACTIVITY after students are taught how to use!
