How to Cite Textual Evidence What is textual evidence, and when do I use it? How and why do I use evidence to support what I read and write?

What happens when I read? Inferences Inference: A conclusion the reader is able to draw or come to based on the information given. The information is not directly stated, but the writer does use figurative language and other writing techniques to give you “hints” to help you make your inference or draw your conclusion.

What is happening? I think (what you think has happened) because (how do you know?)_______.

What is happening? How do these two people know each other? I think___________________ because_______________________________.

What happens when I read? Opinions Opinion: judgments made about something stemming from a person’s own personal beliefs and values; what that person believes to be important/true. Example: Pit bulldogs Some people think they are scary dogs. OPINION Some people think these dogs are very sweet and loveable. OPINION Your OPINION is what YOU think or feel about a certain topic, idea, action, etc.

What happens when I read? Stereotypes Stereotype- a broad, over-generalization about a particular group of people or things. EX- All jocks or athletes are dumb, women can’t drive, etc. These stereotypes are usually untrue and can be very hurtful, so beware of them.

What happens when I read? Facts Fact: A statement that is known to be true. How do we know if something is true? We must PROVE IT! This PROOF is what is known as our evidence.

What is textual evidence? Textual Evidence: finding support or “the proof” from the author or writer of a text to support or back up our facts and opinions. If you’re going to make a judgment (creating an opinion), state a fact, or make an inference, you need to be able to state WHY you feel or believe what you are saying.

Examples of textual evidence Example: Based on what I saw in the picture, the man on the ground slipped and fell because the floor was wet. Example: I believe the woman and child from the picture are grandma and grandson because they are hugging fiercely, the woman is older and has the look of a “grandmother”, and they are in a home-style setting.

Textual Evidence Words Because... The text stated... According to the text... The author said... Based on what I read... For example... For instance... On page____, the author said... In paragraph ___, the author stated... From the text, I can... Based on what the author said...
