How to Use Text Evidence to Prove Your Point

Khan Academy

This educational video introduces students to the concept of text evidence, framing it as a "dangerous tool" that allows writers to convince others of their ideas. The narrator breaks down the process of using text evidence into three distinct steps: ensuring you understand the main idea, finding specific details that directly support that idea, and explaining the connection between the evidence and the claim. The video uses a digital whiteboard style with handwritten text appearing on a black background to visually guide learners through the concepts.
