Have you ever written an essay about a story, only to realize that you are not sure how to support claims being made about the text? A claim or argument about any idea in the text should have supporting evidence. Evidence is essential to an author creating a strong argument or claim. All texts, or reading passages, contain evidence. There are many types of evidence, too. Evidence can be found in both fiction texts--such as novels, poems, or short stories--as well as in non-fiction texts like biographies or scientific articles.
Why is evidence important?
Evidence is essential because it summarizes the text
Evidence is essential to an author creating a strong argument or claim
Evidence is essential because it helps a reader understand the plot
Evidence is essential because it is the main idea

An important strategy in finding evidence in a reading passage is understanding what makes the evidence 'strong.' Supporting evidence is strong when it clearly connects to the question and the answer. When reading a passage and selecting specific evidence, ask yourself 'How does this quotation support the question and answer?' The same piece of evidence may also be used to support other claims as well. Text is rich, so it is important to read closely and analyze both the question and the answer carefully before concluding that the evidence is supportive and strong.
What Makes Strong Evidence?
Supporting evidence is strong when it is more than one sentence
Supporting evidence is strong when it provides an answer
Supporting evidence is strong when it is rich
Supporting evidence is strong when it clearly connects to the question and the answer
