When we examine an author’s message, often called the CENTRAL IDEA, and most accurately called the “AUTHOR’S CLAIM”…it is important to examine the way an author supports his ideas.

This makes each of us a sort of “detective” looking for the evidence an author uses to prove his/her point.

There are many ways we can conduct our “detective work” as we closely
read a textual passage…
![Page 5: Citing Evidence? What Does That Mean?...to Support a Claim! When we examine an author’s message, often called the CENTRAL IDEA, and most accurately called the ... from the textual](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022041618/5e3d393ecc041103962a14c9/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
We look for different types of evidence, such as FACTS, STATISTICS, EXAMPLES,EXPERT TESTIMONY, andLOGICAL REASONING…
![Page 6: Citing Evidence? What Does That Mean?...to Support a Claim! When we examine an author’s message, often called the CENTRAL IDEA, and most accurately called the ... from the textual](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022041618/5e3d393ecc041103962a14c9/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
And we can organize the evidence that we have found by:
highlighting the text where the evidence is found,
taking notes,creating graphic organizers, ordeveloping outlines…
![Page 7: Citing Evidence? What Does That Mean?...to Support a Claim! When we examine an author’s message, often called the CENTRAL IDEA, and most accurately called the ... from the textual](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022041618/5e3d393ecc041103962a14c9/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
But, when we begin
to WRITE about
our “detective” work…
What do we DOwith the evidence we have found?
What does it MEAN to “Cite Evidence”?
![Page 8: Citing Evidence? What Does That Mean?...to Support a Claim! When we examine an author’s message, often called the CENTRAL IDEA, and most accurately called the ... from the textual](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022041618/5e3d393ecc041103962a14c9/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Probably the best thing to remember about any writing task that asks us to “cite evidence” (or “discuss details”) from the text is that the task is asking
us to USE the evidence!
![Page 9: Citing Evidence? What Does That Mean?...to Support a Claim! When we examine an author’s message, often called the CENTRAL IDEA, and most accurately called the ... from the textual](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022041618/5e3d393ecc041103962a14c9/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
USING evidence means that we
need to explain how the author supports his claim by presenting a particular fact or example.
![Page 10: Citing Evidence? What Does That Mean?...to Support a Claim! When we examine an author’s message, often called the CENTRAL IDEA, and most accurately called the ... from the textual](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022041618/5e3d393ecc041103962a14c9/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
This means that we will make a direct reference of the evidence AND we will elaborate (explain thoroughly) how that one particular piece of evidence (or detail) proves the author’s claim (central idea.)
![Page 11: Citing Evidence? What Does That Mean?...to Support a Claim! When we examine an author’s message, often called the CENTRAL IDEA, and most accurately called the ... from the textual](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022041618/5e3d393ecc041103962a14c9/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
This explanation of how the evidence is used is called
COMMENTARY !

When we examine an author’s message, often called the CENTRAL IDEA, and most accurately called the ... from the textual](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022041618/5e3d393ecc041103962a14c9/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
But HOW does this
“direct reference”
of the evidence LOOK LIKE in my written response?
![Page 13: Citing Evidence? What Does That Mean?...to Support a Claim! When we examine an author’s message, often called the CENTRAL IDEA, and most accurately called the ... from the textual](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022041618/5e3d393ecc041103962a14c9/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
It can take different forms.
It can be a direct quotation from the textual passage. But remember, if you use the exact words of the author, you need to use quotations marks and give the author credit!
![Page 14: Citing Evidence? What Does That Mean?...to Support a Claim! When we examine an author’s message, often called the CENTRAL IDEA, and most accurately called the ... from the textual](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022041618/5e3d393ecc041103962a14c9/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
It can take another form…
It can be a paraphraseof the textual passage.A paraphrase means that you have translated the author’s words your own.
![Page 15: Citing Evidence? What Does That Mean?...to Support a Claim! When we examine an author’s message, often called the CENTRAL IDEA, and most accurately called the ... from the textual](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022041618/5e3d393ecc041103962a14c9/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
It can take another form…
It can be a summaryof the evidence from the text.A summary means that you have developed your own brief statement from more lengthy or extensive evidence the author has presented.
![Page 16: Citing Evidence? What Does That Mean?...to Support a Claim! When we examine an author’s message, often called the CENTRAL IDEA, and most accurately called the ... from the textual](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022041618/5e3d393ecc041103962a14c9/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
So, how did that detective work pay off?
Do you see how we can
CITE EVIDENCE in different ways?
Then, do you see how we can USEthe evidence we cited to EXPLAINhow it supports the author’s claim?
