9. Example: Know your limits Defying nature leads to disaster.
Daedalus constructs wings with feathers held together by wax to help his son Icarus and himself escape an island prison. Daedalus warns Icarus not to fly too close to the sun because the sun’s heat could melt the wax. Thrilled by the adventure of flying, Icarus ignores his father’s warning. The wax melts, causing Icarus’s wings to fall apart, and Icarus falls to his death.
Possible Interpretation of Theme:
Know your limits
Defying nature leads to disaster.
Ambition can be costly

11. Textual Evidence
Means to use direct information from the text to support your answer or opinion.
When we have ideas about what we read, we need to cite Textual Evidence to support our ideas. This is to let the reader know that we are not making things up.

12. How to construct a perfect response using textual evidence:
State your answer or Idea
Cite what in the text led you to that idea
Explain the evidence (How that particular information supports your theory).

13. Example: Cats kill between 1.4 billion and 3.7 billion birds every
year in the United States alone, a new report concludes.
That’s nearly a billion more birds — at least — than
estimated by some previous studies, Peter Marra told
Science News. This research scientist, who works at the
Smithsonian Conservation Biology Institute in Washington, D.C., led the new study. Any long-term
solution will be controversial. Some people propose
catching wild cats and neutering them, which means
performing minor surgery to make them unable to
reproduce. That won’t make them kill fewer animals. But it will slow the increase in number of these natural-born killers. Others people have proposed catching and killing feral cats.

14. Question: What was the author’s purpose in writing this text?
Model Answer
Question: What was the author’s purpose in writing this text?
The author’s purpose was to make people aware that cats killing birds has become a problem and that any solution to the problem will be controversial.
Here, the writer answers the question with an idea about the text
In the first paragraph, the author points out that, “Cats kill between 1.4 billion and 3.7 billion every year.”
Here, the writer includes a direct quote from the text as evidence.

15. Model Answer continued
Here, the writer comments on how the quoted text that was cited as evidence helped form the idea that was stated to the answer.
The author’s use of that statistic really catches a reader’s eye because they are such big numbers. This shows just how big the problem is.
Then, in the second paragraph, the author says that there are two controversial ways to solve the
problem, by either catching wild cats an performing surgery on them so they can’t reproduce or catching and killing them.
Here, the writer paraphrases from the text to give a second piece of evidence.
