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.
