Have you ever written an essay?

How do you support your

topic? Why do you need to have supporting ideas? Do you
use evidences in supporting your argument? It is very vital
to find evidence in a reading passage in order to answer
questions promptly. Gathering evidences is also essential
to make a strong argument or claim. All texts, or reading
passages, fiction or non-fiction contain evidence. Evidence
are the concrete facts and gathered data used to support
claims or topic.

Analyze the statement which

01 could be supported with
evidence

02 Read the text closely to find

the answers to the questions.
Jot down important inferences,
03 details and quotations (if any)
from the text that support the
answer or claim.
Study the evidence. How does
04 this textual evidence support a
claim or idea from the text?
What makes this evidence
strong?
Cite the evidence by including
quotations of the excerpted

05 text or by using these phrase:

According to the text, ____
On page ___, The author
stated
One example from the text
is____
 Remember: A claim or
argument about any idea in
the text should have
CLAIM
supporting evidence.
