It was the sea eagle that called Emily down to the beach. It hovered about the waves, its broad wings dusty where the land had left its mark, its small eyes that could follow the horizon bright and keen.

She had not meant to come down onto the beach. She had mean to sit at the top of the ramp till the other kids had left the street, till she could walk home from school in peace without strangers staring at her, but somehow the bird seemed to urge her to come down.

Cite the textual evidence that best describes Emily's thoughts and feelings.

• "...till she could walk home from school in peace..."

• "...sea eagle that called Emily..."

• "...its broad wings dusty..."

• "...the bird seemed to urge her to come down."

What should you do after stating textual evidence?

• Transition to another idea or subclaim

• Explain how the evidence supports your claim

• Discuss why others' opinions or arguments are incorrect

• Review your main points or subclaims

Why is it important to provide textual evidence?

• It makes your paragraph longer.

• It allows your reader to get the important facts from the article without reading the whole thing.

• It shows that you know what you are talking about.

• It makes your claim stronger and helps prove your point.

The definition of support is?

• Back up an answer with details. Prove. Provide evidence.

• Give the short version: main idea + the beginning, middle, end.

• Take your best guess on what will happen next.

• Tell how something happened. Tell the steps.
