SubjectTextual Evidence

This resource focuses on teaching students the difference between direct quotations and paraphrasing when using textual evidence. It includes learning objectives aimed at helping students effectively support their claims through relevant textual evidence. Students will learn to distinguish between direct quotes and paraphrased text, evaluate the strength of this evidence in writing, and apply these skills through guided practice and independent development activities. An exemplar is provided using an excerpt from 'Hatchet' by Gary Paulsen, illustrating both methods of citing textual evidence. Students are encouraged to create their own examples, evaluate the effectiveness of different types of evidence, and reflect on their understanding of the concepts. Additionally, there are activities for self-assessment and real-world applications of evidence evaluation.
