This was created for my English 10 students to guide them through the process of incorporating meaningful textual evidence into their writing. 

The information included in the SlideDeck came from a combination of old printed handouts. I wanted to create an all-in-one accessible "shop" for my learners, and I wanted it to be attached to the LMS (Google Classroom) so that they could reference the slides whenever they needed them (after we reviewed them together as a class). I chose this SlidesGo template because it helped me present the information in an organized manner while also breaking away from a traditional presentation.

In designing any SlideDeck for my learners, I wanted to work in hands-on activities for them to access their learning. That is why slides 18 and 19 ask students to use their knowledge to recognize what is missing from a written response showing evidence and write that part. Slide 20 is a review slide that prompts students to review what they learned and ask any lingering questions. 

There is another iteration of this SlideDeck that asks students to read a short article and then write out an entire paragraph properly embedding cited information.  Students would be able to review all of the examples shown in the SlideDeck to create their own responses. 

Due to this comprehensive introduction, learner incorporation of textual evidence increased both in number and quality, as evidenced by a 93% improvement based on a rubric.
