I feel confident about my ability to determine the central ideas in an informative/explanatory topic because I have practiced identifying key details and connections in the text. If I am not sure about how to analyze the interactions between individuals, events, or ideas in an informational text, I can go back and look for evidence of how they are connected and how they impact each other. It is sometimes challenging for me to make inferences and support them with textual evidence because I might not always notice subtle details or make connections between different parts of the text.
