    Study Notes

    Explicit Information

    • Explicit information is stated directly in the text.
    • Two ways to use explicit information:
      • Direct quotes: Copy the author's words exactly, enclosed in quotation marks.
      • Paraphrasing: Restate the author's ideas in your own words.
    • Use phrases to show you're citing the text:
      • "According to the author..."
      • "The passage states..."
      • "The text tells us..."

    Implied Information

    • Implied information is suggested, not directly stated.
    • You must infer (figure out) the implied information using the text and your own knowledge.
    • Use phrases to show you're quoting the text (similar to explicit information) but also explain your inference.
    • Example: If the text says only living things are made of cells, and a house is not alive, then you can infer that houses are not made of cells.

    Main Idea Example

    • "All living things are made of cells." (Direct quote, explicit)
    • "Cells are the basic components of living organisms, forming tissues, organs, and body systems." (Paraphrase, explicit)
    • The text states: "All living things are made up of cells..."
    • Conclusion Example: A house is not made of cells because houses are not living things.
