Lesson 23: Text Dependent Responses

Checklist for Text Dependent Responses:

In order to cite textual evidence that most strongly supports an analysis, consider the following:
-details from the text to make a strong inference or draw a strong conclusion
-read carefully and consider why an author gives particular details and information
-think about what you already know, and use your own knowledge and experiences to help you figure out what the author does not state directly
-cite textual evidence, or the specific words, phrases, sentences, or paragraphs that led you to make an inference
-details to support your ideas and opinions about a text
-explicit evidence of a character’s feelings or motivations, or the reasons behind a historical event in a nonfiction text
-explicit evidence is stated directly in the text and must be cited accurately to strongly support a text dependent answer or analysis

To cite the textual evidence that most strongly supports an analysis, consider the following questions:
-What types of textual evidence can I use to support an analysis of a text?
-What explicit evidence can I use to support my analysis?
-If I infer things in the text that the author does not state directly, what evidence from the text, along with my own knowledge, can I use to support my analysis?
-How do I know that I’ve used textual evidence that offers the strongest support for my analysis?
