It explains how students progress from identifying topic-relevant details and recognizing which information supports a main idea (RI), to citing textual evidence for explicit statements and inferences from stories and poems (RL). Linkage-level descriptions, predecessor-to-target relationships, and suggested instructional approaches are included, along with references to familiar text resources and related practice materials.","Mini-Map for ELA.EE.RI.8.5  \nSubject: ELA  \nReading Informational Text Grade: 8  \nLearning Outcome  \n| DLM Essential Element | Grade-Level Standard |\n| --- | --- |\n| ELA.EE.RI.8.5 Locate the topic sentence and supporting details in a paragraph. | ELA.RI.8.5 Analyze in detail the structure of a specific paragraph in a text, including the role of particular sentences in developing and refining a key concept. |\n\nLinkage Level Descriptions  \n\n| Initial Precursor | Distal Precursor | Proximal Precursor | Target | Successor |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| The student can identify | After hearing or reading | After reading or hearing | When presented with a | The student is able to |\n| specific members of a | an informational text, | an informational text, | text, the student is able | identify the main idea |\n| given category and use | the student can identify | the student can identify | to recognize that details | and the details that |\n| knowledge of a | explicit details that are | more than one main | in a paragraph can | support the main idea |\n| category to draw | key to the information | idea in the text and | support both the topic | in an informational text. |\n| conclusions about the | in the text. | identify how these | sentence of the text |  |\n| characteristics of |  | details support the | and supporting details. |  |\n| objects that are part of that category. |  | main ideas of the text. |  |  |\n\nInitial Precursor and Distal Precursor Linkage Level Relationships to the Target  \nHow is the Initial Precursor related to the Target? How is the Distal Precursor related to the Target?  \nIdentifying the topic sentence and the details that support it requires students to understand the relationship between the topic and information in the text. Students at the Initial Precursor linkage level can work toward understanding these relationships by recognizing whether or not something belongs in a category. Teachers can work on this during repeated shared reading using texts, including the DLM Familiar Texts aligned with this linkage level, that explicitly include objects or characters that are part of a category and others that are not. Teachers might gather objects that are included in the story and have students decide whether they belong in a teacheridentified category or not.  \nThe Target for this Essential Element includes identifying the topic sentence and the details in the paragraph that support the topic sentence. Students at the Distal Precursor linkage level are working toward the second part of this by identifying explicit details in an informational text. Teachers can support this through guided reading (anchor-read-apply) lessons that focus on reading to identify the details as they occur in a text.  \nInstructional Resources  \n\n| Linkage Level | DLM Familiar Texts |\n| --- | --- |\n| Initial Precursor | Swimming\u003Cbr>Camping Supplies\u003Cbr>Hospitals* |\n| Distal Precursor | N/A |\n| Proximal Precursor | N/A |\n| Target | N/A |\n| Successor | N/A |\n| *Texts with an * contain material that some students may find sensitive.
