What are the six types of supporting details? 1. descriptions -use the five senses, compare and contrast, and metaphors 2. vocabulary -If using a big word, include the definition to help the reader understand 3. proof -Uses facts, stats, and dates that are hard evidence for main point 4. voices -Expert quotes, individual opinions, or different opinions that can be considered "soft proof" 5. explanation -Restating the main point more simply 6. importance -Answering the question "so what," after a fact or a quote 2. Summarizing in writing: A summary is a brief recollection of the main point -must include: main characters, events, and places --The overall purpose of the piece of writing --Most importantly, shorter than the original text -do not include supporting details that aren't important to the main point 3. Inferences in writing: An inference is a conclusion reached on the basis of evidence and reasoning. (Reading between the lines to better understand) Use prior knowledge and textual information to draw conclusions, make critical judgements, and form interpretations of the text. This can occur in the form of conclusions, predictions, or new ideas. Look for patterns or relationships in the text that might shed greater light on the subject. 4. Explicit and Implicit information: Explicit- something that is stated plainly -leaves no room for debate -useful in essays and reports, scientific and non-fiction writing because it is clear and unmistakable (when facts are given or used) Implicit- something that is implied and not stated directly -example: "all children grow up, except one." - Peter Pan -you aren't told exactly who that one child is but you can understand that Peter Pan is that one child that never did -used in fiction writing 5.
