  1. S.E.E. Aaahh . . . I S.E.E!

  2. ‘S’ Stands for . . . • S = Statement • Make a clear statement about your topic. Take a stand. Make a claim. Do NOT write, “I believe,” or “I think,” or “In my opinion.” Just state it. Sample Statement: At the beginning of his journey, Rainbow Fish would not socialize or share his beautiful shiny scales with any other fish in the sea.

  3. ‘E’ Stands for . . . • E = Evidence/Example • Cite evidence to prove that the point you just made is true and accurate. This evidence should be in the form of SPECIFIC details or EXACT words from your text. If you use an author’s exact words you must put them in “quotation marks” and follow the passage with the page number in parentheses (parenthetical citation). Sample Evidence: For example, after the little blue fish swam after Rainbow Fish to praise him for his beauty, the blue fish asked Rainbow Fish to share one single scale with him, and Rainbow replied, “ ‘You want me to give you one of my special scales? Who do you think you are? . . . Get away from me!’ ” (5).

  4. ‘E’ #2 Stands for . . . • E = Explanation • Explain the meaning and significance of the evidence you just provided and how it indeed proves your point. Who cares? Sample Explanation: As a result, Rainbow Fish became “the loneliest fish in the entire ocean” and sought out the advice of the wise octopus , who told Rainbow Fish to give away one glittering scale to each of the fish in order to achieve happiness. This led Rainbow to discover that he felt more at home with the other fish only once he had given of himself.

  5. Pause for transitions . . . . Yikes!

  6. Sample S.E.E. (Rainbow Fish) Altogether it would look like this: At the beginning of his journey, Rainbow Fish would not socialize or share his beautiful shiny scales with any other fish in the sea. For example, after the little blue fish swam after Rainbow Fish to praise him for his beauty, the blue fish asked Rainbow Fish to share one single scale with him, and Rainbow replied, “ ‘You want me to give you one of my special scales? Who do you think you are? . . . Get away from me!’ ” (5). As a result, Rainbow Fish became “the loneliest fish in the entire ocean” and sought out the advice of the wise octopus , who told Rainbow Fish to give away one glittering scale to each of the fish in order to achieve happiness.
