 SUPPORTED WITH EVIDENCE

Express evidence to support idea or

general statement drawn from the text.
 How do we provide evidence?
• A - Answer the question using prior knowledge and inferences.
• Prior Knowledge: will help the reader comprehend it better than someone with
no prior knowledge. It provides extra support to the reader’s thinking process.
• Inference: It is an educated guess or reading facts and evidence to reach a
logical conclusion or opinion. Making inferences while reading is a strategy that
will help you understand the text at a deeper level.
• Cite evidence: The text to support your thoughts or opinions. Highlighting the
text is an effective approach to mark the evidence.
• Explain: your answer with evidence by paraphrasing or directly quoting.
• Use RAP: Read, Ask yourself questions, Put the information in your own words.
• Quoting: The author says, “…” The text states, “…..” Quoting is copying exactly
what the author is saying in your answer. Make sure to use quotation marks!
Read the text thoroughly. Fill out the graphic organizer
with evidences to support the general statement.
General Statement: Rain and snow are not the same.
Rain and Snow
Clouds are made of billions of drops of water. When the drops grow very
big and heavy, they fall as rain.
Snow is different. The weather does not have to be hot for water to
evaporate. Evaporation can happen in cold winter weather. Snow does not
have to melt to evaporate. Have you ever seen a patch of snow get smaller
and smaller, yet the ground is dry?
The water vapor reaches the upper air layer where it is freezing. The
vapor freezes, rather than condenses. Snow is frozen water vapor. Snow
clouds are made of billions of flakes of frozen water vapor.
• When Anne reached the school that morning . . . for the first time in her life she had
traversed the Birch Path deaf and blind to its beauties . . . all was quiet and still. The
preceding teacher had trained the children to be in their places at her arrival, and
when Anne entered the schoolroom she was confronted by prim rows of “shining
morning faces” and bright, inquisitive eyes. She hung up her hat and faced her pupils,
hoping that she did not look as frightened and foolish as she felt and that they would
not perceive how she was trembling.
• 1. Cite evidence that Anne is a teacher.

• 2. Cite evidence that the setting is school.
• ________________________________________________________________
• 3. Cite phrases from the text that the learners are well disciplined.

• 4. List three words from the passage that show Anne is nervous on her first day of
• teaching school.

B. It lay on the shelf, dusty and sad. Its brown leather cover was dry and cracked. The
title and author’s name were once printed in gold, although some of the gold had
worn away. Certainly no one had read it for a long time.
• 1. Cite evidence that the object is a book.___________________________________
• 2. Cite evidence that it is old._____________________________________
C. Back in the days, the women of the Philippines were courted by a man who brought
her down the biggest coconut from the coconut tree. The men were to climb the tree
with no assistance or gadgets, just their bare hands and feet. This was how my
grandparents met. At the time they were only teenagers and would not be married for
another few years, but their marriage lasted for over fifty years before my grandpa
became a widow.
• 1. Cite evidence that their meeting and union was extraordinary.
• _________________________________________________________________
• 2. Cite evidence that the grandfather was strong and determined.

Impacts on education: Families
Perhaps to the disappointment of some, children have not generally been
sent home to play. The idea is that they continue their education at home, in the
hope of not missing out too much.
Families are central to education and are widely agreed to provide major
inputs into a child’s learning, as described by Bjorklund and Salvanes (2011). The
current global-scale expansion in home schooling might at first thought be seen
quite positively, as likely to be effective. But typically, this role is seen as a
complement to the input from school. Parents supplement a child’s Maths
learning by practicing counting or highlighting simple Maths problems in
everyday life; or they illuminate history lessons with trips to important
monuments or museums. Being the prime driver of learning, even in conjunction
with online materials, is a different question; and while many parents round the
world do successfully school their children at home, this seems unlikely to
generalize over the whole population.
 So while global home schooling will surely produce some
inspirational moments, some angry moments, some fun moments
and some frustrated moments, it seems very unlikely that it will on
average replace the learning lost from school. But the bigger point
is this: there will likely be substantial disparities between families in
the extent to which they can help their children learn. Key
differences include (Oreopoulos et al. 2006) the amount of time
available to devote to teaching, the non-cognitive skills of the
parents, resources (for example, not everyone will have the kit to
access the best online material), and also the amount of knowledge
– it’s hard to help your child learn something that you may not
understand yourself. Consequently, this episode will lead to an
increase in the inequality of human capital growth for the affected
cohorts.

COVID-19 issue? Cite textual evidences to support
your answer.
