Text Evidence Flashcard

Text evidence refers to specific details or examples from a text that support an argument or claim.

To infer means to draw a conclusion based on evidence and reasoning rather than from explicit statements.

Reading between the lines helps us understand deeper meanings and implications that are not directly stated in the text.

Prior knowledge helps readers make connections and enhance their comprehension of the text.

A direct statement is explicitly stated in the text, while an inference is a conclusion drawn from the text and prior knowledge.

Textual evidence provides support and credibility to an argument, making it more persuasive.

An example of textual evidence could be a quote or a specific detail from a book that supports a claim.

Backing up an opinion with evidence means providing specific examples or data to support that opinion.

Inferences are important because they allow readers to understand implied meanings and themes that are not directly stated.

Text evidence is used to make inferences; it provides the basis for drawing conclusions.
