Making Judgments
Lesson 18
• Careful readers of nonfiction EVALUATE what they read
& make JUDGMENTS about the information in the text.
• JUDGMENTS are assertions.
• A statement or a claim about something
• Should be valid or reasonable IF supported by the text
• Support from text known as EVIDENCE
• Includes facts, examples, & quotations from a text
Making Judgments
• When Good Readers make assertions they:
• Identify the facts and think them over.
• Check to see if the facts support their assertion.
• When you check or evaluate your evidence in order to see if it
supports your Judgment/Assertion:
• If you can find strong examples you have made a good judgment
• If not, fix your Judgment so it has textual support

Action Verbs &
Direct/Indirect Objects
Lesson 18
• ACTION VERBS tells what the SUBJECT of a sentence
is doing, will do, or has already done.
• Example: Mr. Bollini walked to the store.
• The Action Verb “walked” tells what action the subject
performed.
• If a Noun/Pronoun RECEIVES the action of the verb,
that Noun/Pronoun is a DIRECT OBJECT.
• Example: Mr. Bollini bought a platypus burger.
• The Action verb is “bought” telling the action the subject
performed.
• The Direct Object is “a platypus burger” or the Noun/Pronoun
that receives the action of the verb.
