Understanding
- I can explain that writers use evidence strategically to illustrate, clarify, exemplify, associate, amplify or qualify a point. (Guide: “Evidence is chosen, not found”; Practice Question 3)
- I can explain that evidence is effective when commentary explains its relationship to the claim. (Guide: “Evidence is chosen, not found”; Practice Question 5)
- I can explain that evidence is sufficient when its quantity and quality give apt support for the line of reasoning. (Guide: “Quality as well as quantity”; Practice Questions 2 and 6)
- I can explain that developing an interpretation is recursive. (Guide: “The recursive loop”; Practice Question 8)
Skills
- I can run a five-question evidence audit on a set of candidate details. (Guide: “The evidence audit” and Worked example 1; Practice Question 7)
- I can choose the most relevant piece of evidence for a given claim. (Guide: Worked example 1; Practice Question 1)
- I can check whether the evidence covers every part of a multi-part claim. (Guide: Worked example 1; Practice Question 2)
- I can use a quotation briefly, embed it and explain it. (Guide: “Quality as well as quantity”; Practice Question 5)
Reasoning
- I can handle counter-evidence by revising or qualifying a claim. (Guide: Worked example 2; Practice Questions 4 and 8)
- I can explain why a claim about a pattern needs evidence from more than one place. (Guide: “Quality as well as quantity”; Practice Questions 6 and 9)
- I can use a public-domain story, such as The Cask of Amontillado, to test a claim about reliability. (Guide: Worked example 1; Practice Question 1)
