Evidence – Direct Quote Make sure your evidence is RELEVANT and proves your main idea/topic. It should prove your answer for the prompt is correct. Do not change any words when you copy a direct quote. The quotation marks show that it is not your writing. A direct quote should be copied word for word from the text. Evidence should be an entire sentence from the text, but no more than two (consecutive) sentences. No ellipses (…) allowed For evidence that is already in quotes (dialogue), use double quotations around the outside to show you are quoting a part of the text, and single quotations around the dialogue.
