that causes you to believe that
something is true or has really
happened.
ANECDOTAL
EVIDENCE
 ANECDOTAL EVIDENCE

 Anecdotal Evidence: Stories that

Form a Connection
Anecdotal evidence is stories or case
studies that support your thesis.
 EXAMPLE OF ANECDOTAL
EVIDENCE
1. Interviews with someone who tells a story
related to your thesis.
2. A personal experience related to your topic.
3. A case study from a journal or your own
research.
4. An excerpt from a journal or letter.
TESTIMONIAL
EVIDENCE
Testimonial Evidence: Opinions of
Experts
 You should always establish
credibility for the expert before
using that person’s opinion as
supporting evidence in your
essay.
 EXAMPLE OF TESTIMONIAL
EVIDENCE
1.Direct interviews with experts in your topic.
2.Quotes from an expert’s book, paper, or
newspaper editorial.
3.Conclusions from essays written by experts.
4.Your own specialized knowledge if you have
the credentials or experience to support it.
STATISTICAL
EVIDENCE

Numbers that Matter
You can use statistics as a
type of support in writing if
they directly relate to your
thesis.
 EXAMPLE OF STATISTICAL EVIDENCE

1.Numbers gleaned from your own research or surveys you

have conducted.
2.Numbers from personal experience if you have sources to
support them.
3.Percentages from good sources like government reports or
peer viewed studies.
4.Measurements and numbers you gathered yourself or
gathered from research.
TEXTUAL
EVIDENCE
 Textual Evidence: Support from
other Writing
Whenever you use textual evidence, you
need to be specific about where you
found this evidence in the text. You
should include page numbers and other
information to guide the reader in
verifying your evidence.
 EXAMPLE OF TEXTUAL EVIDENCE

1.Direct quotations from a book or other text source.

2.Accurate summaries of what happened or was said
in the text.
3.Larger passages that relate directly to the thesis of
your essay.
4.Paraphrases of what the author says in the text.
ANALOGICAL
EVIDENCE
 Analogical Evidence: Comparison
with a known situation
One of the weakest types of evidence in
writing, analogical evidence compares
something that is not certain or known
with a situation that is known. Then, the
text draws conclusions based on that
comparison.
 EXAMPLE OF ANALOGICAL
EVIDENCE
1.A peer reviewed study that is similar in many ways to the
topic in your essay.
2.An expert opinion about something very similar to your
topic.
3.A court case or historical event that is similar to your thesis.
4.Statistics from a journal or direct research that is related to
your topic but not exactly the same.
HYPOTHETICAL
EVIDENCE
 Hypothetical Evidence: Enough
detail to seem real
Offers a projection or guess about a
future scenario with enough sensory
detail and imagery to feel like it is
real. This is similar to an anecdote,
but it is a weaker form of evidence.
 EXAMPLE OF HYPOTHETICAL
EVIDENCE
1.A story about what would happen if your
thesis were true.
2.A story to go with a statistic from a good
source.
3.An imaginary event that would trigger an
action related to your thesis.
 PRIOR
KNOWLEDGE
 Prior knowledge
When a reader has previous
experience or has already read
about a particular topic, he will
have some insights or knowledge
to the topic before reading it.
INFERENCE
Inference
It is an educated guess or
reading facts and evidence
to reach a logical
conclusion or opinion.
CITE
Cite
Evidence in the text
to support your
thoughts or opinions.
INFERENCE
Explain
Your answer with
evidence by paraphrasing
or directly quoting.
PARAPHRASING
 Paraphrasing
The author explains… The
text shows… Use RAP:
Read, Ask yourself questions,
Put the information in your
own words.
QUOTING
 Quoting
The author says, “…” The text
states, “…..” Quoting is
copying exactly what the author
is saying in your answer. Make
sure to use quotation marks!
WHAT’S IN THE
PICTURE
 Directions: Look very closely at
the picture and cite evidence to
support the general statement
given below. Write your answer
on a clean sheet of paper. Give
at least 3 evidences.
PHOTO: JOYCE GILOS TORREFRANCA/FACEBOOK
1. What are the boy doing?
2. What will you do if you see him on
the streets?
3. Do you think giving something is the
best way to help him? Why?

Directions: Read the text

support the general
statement. Write your
answers on a separate sheet
of paper.
RAIN OR SNOW
 Clouds are made of billions of drops of water. When the
drops grow very big and heavy, they fall as rain.
Snow is different. The weather does not have to be hot for
water to evaporate. Evaporation can happen in cold winter
weather. Snow does not have to melt to evaporate. Have you
ever seen a patch of snow get smaller and smaller, yet the
ground is dry?
The water vapor reaches the upper air layer where it is
freezing. The vapor freezes, rather than condenses. Snow is
frozen water vapor. Snow clouds are made of billions of flakes
of frozen water vapor.
Direction: Read the
short story below and
look for an evidence
from the text to support
the general statement.
 Every day after work Paul took his muddy boots off on
the steps of the front porch. Alice would have a fit if the
boots made it so far as the welcome mat. He then took off
his dusty overalls and threw them into a plastic garbage
bag; Alice left a new garbage bag tied to the porch railing
for him every morning. On his way in the house, he
dropped the garbage bag off at the washing machine and
went straight up the stairs to the shower as he was
instructed. He would eat dinner with her after he was
"presentable," as Alice had often said.
1. Cite evidence that Paul is a construction worker.
______________________________________________________
__________
2. Cite evidence that the characters are husband and wife.
______________________________________________________
__________
3. Cite phrases from the text that Alice is an organized person.
1.Do you think knowing this information
can help you in the future?
2.Is it important for us to know the citing
textual evidence to use in expressing
oneself?
3.Based on our discussion who can
summarize the points of our lesson?
IFVL: Evidence is the available body of facts
or information indicating whether a belief or
proposition is true or valid.

Exodus 23:1 “You shall not spread a false

report. You shall not join hands with a wicked
man to be a malicious witness.”
