Define
Every detail in a text can be a clue to its intent, meaning or context
From word choice, to major events
Explicit evidence is directly stated in the text
use any prior knowledge when looking at different facts in an informational text
Not all textual evidence has weight
Textual Evidence could be a word, phrase, sentence, or paragraph that led you to make an inference or draw a conclusion.
Always need to cite evidence from text
Show how and why you chose to show the evidence and how you analyzed it the way that you did.
TKAM Takeaways
Some takeaways from reading TKAM were not much different from last time, although the case was brought to court. During court, everything was very unfair and because of Toms skin color. Although Atticus thinks he will not win, he did a good thing by taking up the case even though Tom is of color. The reason this is good is because without Atticus stepping in, Tom would have gone to jail right away without someone fighting for him.
SAT Test Taking Tips
When reading the question cover the answers
Make a prediction on what you think the answer is before actually reading the answers cause if you know what you are looking for already it will be easier to answer
If you're not sure of the answers keep re-reading the question
POE= process of eliminations
On easy questions using your predictions you should be able to eliminate 3 out of 4 of the answers and hard questions your should be able to eliminate 2 out of 4
Mostly Right/ Slightly Wrong:Answers usually look perfect except for a word or two that doesn't make sense
Could Be True: Answers seem to make sense or can be logical but they aren't supported by the text
Deceptive Language: has words that looks exactly like the passage but aren’t put together in a way that makes sense
Discussion Questions
1. Why does Miss Maudie refuse to go to the courtroom?
2. What does Scout mean when she refers to “mulatto children”? What do they reveal about the town? What is their status in Maycomb?
3. How do the kids sneak into the courtroom? Who do they sit? Where are they in the courtroom? Why is the location of their seats important?
4. What is revealed by Heck Tate’s testimony? How does Heck Tate recount the events?
5. Why is it important that no doctor was called to check on Mayella? What does this leave unconfirmed?
6. Describe what we learn about Bob Ewell from his testimony. What questions do you have about him as a witness? What is revealed by his testimony that is key to the case?
7. What other questions do you need answered about the text?
After reading these chapters and discussing the book, some of the main points my group pulled out of this was the different ways people are plead guilty in a courtroom and how it was unfair doctors did not check mayella out, because that is key information to see the bruises on her body as well as other evidence.

Panel Discussion on Introductions
Setting the stage for your essay in the introduction, can be very powerful.
In all should be about 4-6 sentences
All introductions have three things in common
1.Hook- Grab readers attention
You need to have an objective hook, and you need to grab the reader's attention and make them stay, because they will not want to read your essay if your hook is weak, or not to its full potential. You need to know who your audience is, so you can create a hook that can apply. Do not ask a question for a hook. If you decide to use questions, use one in a good situation. It would work better in something like a blogger, and make it a thought provoking question.
2.Transition
You have to make an explanation, and say why it is significant. If it is a quote, also say why it is significant, but give it a purpose and give some evidence, like who said/wrote it.
3. Thesis/Hypothesis
Thesis for english, Hypothesis for science.
Transition between the transition and thesis and hypothesis, is where you should stretch your learning and try to expand what you are saying. Thesis/Hypothesis should be 1 sentence. Do not make it long, the entire intro should not be more than 4-6 sentences.
Hypothesis- What is the purpose of this lab?
English/Science
1.Unusual data/fact transitioning the thesis.
2.Thought provoking quote w/citation and transition and thesis.
*science- from scientific journal
English
3.Historical context/social implications and thesis
4.Anecdote and thesisArgumentative Paragraph Notes:
Claim: Your Position + 1 reason
Data: Quote by experts, data/numbers from a large study, rich info. (citation) Example: In her article "Living Viruses" Judy Miller Ph.d states "..." (Citation)
Counter Claim: Present an opinion opposite from your own
Rebuttal: Explain and analyze how your data supports your claim.
Counter Claim: Present another piece of data (a quote from an expert or #s from a large study) to prove the counter claim is not as strong as your initial claim. Explain and analyze how that data weakens your counterclaim. You do not need to find a source
Concluding Statement: Restate your main point in different words.
Never say:
I think
I believe
In my opinion
Instead say: Scientists from UCLA might say
"Things" Tucker Hates
1.The word things, and all other boring words.
2. Contractions like can't which are not formal. She does not want to see them in our writing, ever.
3. Tired and overused verbs,
4. Sentences that begin with so. Pick a better transition
5. "I'm going to write about"
