Explicit Textual Evidence
Explicit = direct
Textual = from the text

Textual Evidence Example

We would call those two pieces of text “textual evidence” because they are EVIDENCE from the TEXT that PROVES my response.
◦“He already spoke Spanish and English…” (32).
◦
◦“There were rivers in France, and huge churches, and fair-skinned people everywhere, the way there were brown people all around Victor” (32).

Using Textual Evidence Effectively
According to the short story, Victor hopes that Teresa is going to be in the same class this year because he likes her. I know this because on page 32 he says “Teresa is going to be my girl this year, he promised himself as he left the gym full of students in their new fall clothes. She was cute” This demonstrates Victor’s desire to get to know Teresa better.

Multiple Choice
Everywhere around us, there are millions of tiny living things called germs. They are so tiny that they can be seen only under the most powerful microscope. Some of these germs are no wider than twenty-five thousandths of an inch!Louis Pasteur, the great French scientist, was the first to prove that germs exist. The germs in the air can be counted. The number of germs around us, especially in crowded rooms, is tremendous. Certain scientists counted 42,000 germs in approximately one cubic meter of air in a picture gallery when it was empty. But when the gallery was crowded with people, they found nearly 5,000,000 germs in the same place. In the open air germs are less abundant. There are fewer germs in country air than in town air. We see at once how important it is, therefore, to live as much as possible in the open air, and for the rooms we live in to always be well ventilated by fresh air.
According to the passage, where will you find more germs?
In crowded spaces
In the country
In hospitals
In empty rooms
