DEFINE: • Textual Evidence – ANY word(s), phrases, or whole sentences you use from the story in your OER. You MUST put “quotation marks” around all text evidence that you copy from the story.
DEFINE: • Commentary – your explanations, thoughts, opinions, etc. that you use in your OER to support your answer and explain your textual evidence. In other words, your own voice.
DEFINE: • Inference – a logical assumption based on observable facts and one’s own knowledge and experience. (An educated guess using a combination of facts and what you already know)
