Citing Text Evidence Chart (SS)
One of the shifts of the common core is "Reading, writing and speaking grounded in evidence from text, both literary and informational." Is it always warranted that a student cite using MLA format? No. Teaching students how to informally cite text to support what is explicitly stated and to support inferences is very important as they analyze texts for multiple purposes.
This document is a great visual to teach and remind students how to cite the text to support answers.

Here's a 1-min video that frames this inquiry in the most dramatic way possible: a trailer for a horror movie in which students (the audience) must determine the fate of the narrator.
