5th Grade Reading - Explaining Relationships Lesson
Explaining Relationships In a text, an author often explains how concepts (ideas) and events (things that have happened) are related.
When you read, pay attention to the events and concepts the author talks about in the text. Ask yourself:
Does the text explain how or why an event happened?
Does the text focus on a concept or idea?
How does the author explain the events or concepts in the text?
How does a concept or an event affect another?
How are two events or concepts similar or different?
