Lesson 11: Textual Evidence
Duration of Days: 2
Lesson Objective
Students will be able to cite several pieces of textual evidence to support analysis of what the text says explicitly as well as inferences drawn from the text.
In order to support an analysis by citing textual evidence that is explicitly stated in the text, do the following:
* read the text closely and critically identify what the text says explicitly
* find the most relevant textual evidence that supports your analysis
* consider why an author explicitly states specific details and information
* cite the specific words, phrases, sentences, paragraphs, or images from the text that support your analysis
In order to interpret implicit meanings in a text by making inferences, do the following:
* combine information directly stated in the text with your own knowledge, experiences, and observations
* cite the specific words, phrases, sentences, paragraphs, or images from the text that support this inference
In order to cite textual evidence to support an analysis of what the text says explicitly as well as inferences drawn from the text, consider the following questions:
* Have I read the text closely and critically?
* What inferences am I making about the text?
* What textual evidence am I using to support these inferences?
* Am I quoting the evidence from the text correctly?
* Does my textual evidence logically relate to my analysis?
* Have I cited several pieces of textual evidence?
