Introducing Text Dependent Analysis writing

This document serves as an introduction to Text-Dependent Analysis (TDA), a writing technique that involves making a claim about a text and supporting it with direct evidence from the text itself. Unlike summarization, TDA requires deeper analysis to uncover meanings beyond the surface. The document outlines key goals for learners, including understanding the definition of TDA, identifying its four components (Claim, Evidence, Analysis), and differentiating between strong and weak responses. It also provides examples of effective and ineffective TDA responses, guidance for finding strong evidence, and tips for writing analysis. Additionally, the document includes practice activities where learners can apply their understanding and improve their analysis skills.
