Learning Objective
I can explain why it is important to cite sources in my academic work.
- 1
When making arguments about a text, you must make inferences and draw conclusions based on explicit or implicit evidence.
- 2
To find evidence, seek out parts of the book where the characters interact, then look closely at the prose and dialogue.
- 3
When choosing evidence, select the details that give you the strongest support for your idea, and if the evidence doesn't match, you might need to change your idea.
