- Assessment Limits :
Items may ask the student to use details from the text to explain what the text says explicitly or implicitly. The items may require the student to draw inferences from the text. - Text Types :
The items assessing this standard may be used with one or more grade-appropriate literary texts. Texts may vary in complexity. - Response Mechanisms :
The Enhanced Item Descriptions section on page 3 provides a list of Response Mechanisms that may be used to assess this standard (excluding the Editing Task Choice item type). The Sample Response Mechanisms may include, but are not limited to, the examples below. - Task Demand and Sample Response Mechanisms :Task Demand
Identify text-based support for a statement about what the text says explicitly or implicitly.
Sample Response Mechanisms
Selectable Text
- Requires the student to select words or phrases from the text to answer questions about what the text says explicitly or implicitly.
- Requires the student to select a statement about what the text says explicitly or implicitly and then to select words or phrases to support the statement.
- Requires the student to select an inference about the text and then to select a detail or details from the text to support the inference.
- Requires the student to select quotations or descriptions of textual evidence to support an explicit or implicit statement from the text.

STEM Lessons - Model Eliciting Activity
After reading a book about a boy who claims to catch one million fish, students will work to help Wagon Willy of Wagon Wonders to design a custom wagon big enough to haul the boy's fish. He will also seek their input on the best building material for the wagon based on students' analysis of data about wood. After students collaborate to solve the problem, they will be presented with a twist. Wagon Willy will need the students to convert their measurements from feet to inches and reconsider which wood to recommend based on the introduction of new criteria plus another available wood type.
Model Eliciting Activities, MEAs, are open-ended, interdisciplinary problem-solving activities that are meant to reveal students’ thinking about the concepts embedded in realistic situations. Click here to learn more about MEAs and how they can transform your classroom.
