Resources:


  • Analysis (Analyze)
    In general, a careful examination of the parts of a whole and their relationships to one another; in language arts, a study of how words, sentences, paragraphs, stanzas, or sections of a text affect its meaning.
  • Evidence
    Empirical data or other sources of support (e.g., mathematical proofs) for a claim; may be selected, presented, and evaluated differently by different audiences and in different subject areas according to the norms of disciplinary literacy. See Text Types and Purposes for Argument.
  • Massachusetts Anchor Standards for Reading
  • Paraphrase
    Restatement of speech or writing that retains the basic meaning while changing the words; often clarifies the original text by putting it into words more easily understood.
  • Reading Closely to Analyze Complex Texts in the Secondary Grades
  • Source
    Text used largely for informational purposes, as in research.
