I am your teacher Marilou Recamara your in charge of todays’ topic. We are now on
quarter 4 of our radio - based instruction. once again this is reading and writing skills 11.
Stay with me for the next 30 minutes for we are about to discuss DETERMINING
TEXTUAL EVIDENCES
To start with TEXTUAL EVIDENCE is defined as the details given by the author in order to
support his/her claim. It reveals the position of the writer and makes the reading more interesting.
I’ll repeat… Evidences are details that strengthen, add variety or weight to any argument.(again)
Now here are the following Guide Questions that you are going to answer…
Harlem by Langston Hughes gives me the feeling, or mood of anger and depression. It feels like
the idea of deferring dreams is hurtful and maybe even causes one to become resentful before
eventually being overcome by anger. I know this because the poem uses the words “foster like a
sore,” which gives me a feeling of pain. Further, describing deferred dreams as if they “stink like
rotten meat” is an unpleasant image, giving me the feeling of resentment. Finally, when the poem
end with “Or does it explode?” makes me think of a person who boils over in anger.
Here, the author claimed that the poem gives him the feeling of anger and depression. He uses
exact words from the poem like foster like a sore, stink like rotten meat, or does it explode which
are directly relevant to his idea of anger and depression. Thus, we can say that the writer’s claim
in this essay is valid and relevant.
In addition, finding textual evidence on a read text helps you make inferences using concrete
evidences on your claim. To support one’s claim, you should explicitly cite the ideas that support
your claim in your writings.
There are different ways on how you can present textual evidence in your writings. It can be
through paraphrasing or restating the text in your own words, through summarizing or stating in a
shorter way the text and other relevant details to support the idea, through referencing or
mentioning a specific section in the text, and through quoting or directly restating a part of the text.
I hope that was clear to you.. That would be all for today. I hope that you have learned
something during our discussion. If you have any questions on the activities, please text or
call 08567230359 If you need more support, contact your class advisers. You may also
tap your mother, father, ate or kuya. Remember, if there’s a will, there’s a way. I am your
teacher Marilou Recamara of DepEd Dapitan City Rizal Knights strongly believe, nga Ang
Edukasyon mao ang ganghaan sa kalampusan.
