Study Notes

Understanding Textual Evidence

  • Textual evidence refers to quotes, passages, or phrases extracted from a text to support an argument, claim, or analysis.
  • Good evidence typically exhibits the following characteristics: • Relevance: directly supports the claim or argument • Specificity: provides detailed and concrete information • Sufficient: adequate in quantity and quality to support the claim • Representative: accurately represents the text as a whole •Objective: unbiased and neutral, avoiding personal opinions or feelings

Generating Textual Evidence

  • There are three important ways to generate textual evidence: • Quoting: directly citing a phrase, sentence, or passage from the text to support an argument or claim. • Paraphrasing: restating a passage or idea in one's own words, maintaining the original meaning. • Summarizing: condensing a larger section of text into a concise summary, highlighting the main points.
