Help students identify an author’s point and the reasons that support it. The five-page PDF includes a completed reference chart, a fill-in version, a color-coded Dogs Make Good Pets example and discussion sentence frames, plus a creator page.

Model the relationship between the claim and its reasons using the supplied passage. Then use the reference and frames with another text you choose, on a bulletin board or in reading notebooks.
