  1. A focus on Evidence T.I.E.E.

  2. Definition of Evidence • Evidence means. . . • To persuade the reader more using… • Anecdotes • Specific Examples • Definitions • Vivid Descriptions • Expert Opinions • Statistics and facts.

  3. ANECDOTES -- An anecdote is a short narrative inserted into an essay that develops an idea or argument. This sounds like. . . Once, when I was in middle school, the kids would always. . . Hey, I remember the time when I had to carry my . . .

  4. Persuade your reader with an Anecdote! Mr. Taylor, baseball teaches great character. I remember one time when I played on the high school baseball team. We were losing, and it was the 8th inning. Everyone was getting discouraged, and then the coach said, “Boys, you’ve got to rally here! Turn your ball caps around and get out there!” My coach’s words have helped me in the classroom, too!

  5. SPECIFIC EXAMPLES -- provide more specific information about an idea. This sounds like… We had a barrage of different weather last week: hail, rain, snow, and sunshine. My brother always seems to pick on me. For instance, he hides my soccer shoes before a game. The cats were all acting like they were crazy. For example, one jumped at me with all …

  6. Persuade your reader with a Specific Example! The game of golf does not discriminate against age. People of any age can go out and play a round of golf whenever they want; this is not true of most sports: football, soccer, and volleyball take an entire team of people to playand require a certain athletic ability found only in the youth. Golf is a sound investment that will last you a lifetime.

  7. DEFINITIONS -- are restatements of an unfamiliar word or phrase to tell what it means. This sounds like… Mr. Taylor, the bullying problem at our school is in direct violation of R.E.AC.H. R.E.A.C.H. is a system of ethics and character with which we try to live by at Amistad Academy. It stands for respect, enthusiasm, achievement, citizenship, and hard work. Respect is very much in danger.

  8. Persuade your reader with Definitions One of the best programs at our school is something called Morning Circle. Morning Circle is a weekly celebration and recognition of student achievement. It acts as the public-speaking classroom.

  9. STATISTICS and FACTS -- are the numbers (data) and information that help support your idea or argument. • Provide the credentials or source to establish credibility. Mom, did you know, according to a poll in Times Magazine, 98% of all parents surveyed said they let their child stay up until 1:00 AM on the weekends? A recent article in the World Medicine Journal said that kids who smoke at an early ageare prone to heart attacks later in life.

  10. Persuade your reader with Facts and Statistics. Another craze to sweep America was the low-carb diet. It was reported in the Washington Post, after the last holiday season that 67% of all Americans were low-carb dieting.

  11. EXPERT OPINION-- are quotes an expert says that can help support your idea or argument. • Provide the credentials or source to establish credibility. Dr. Stein, a five-year veterinarian from the animal shelter, agreed when she said, “Vaccinating cats and dogs against parasites is the single best gift a pet owner can give.”

  12. Persuade your reader with Expert Opinions Another reason to graduate from high school is that even technical jobs require a diploma. Jared Turner from Best Performance Welding magazinestates, “We won’t even consider hiring a person without a high school diploma. Our workers need to read the job specs, monitor equipment performance, and write orders and reports.”

  13. VIVID DESCRIPTIONS --are ways to create vivid images for the reader. The sound of my phone cut through the silent class, and I anxiously dug into my backpack to grab it before Mr. G., the writing teacher, noticed. Pawing through Chapstick, lipstick, gum wrappers, and rubber hair wraps, my hand darted around the deep pockets of my backpack. Must shut off ringer, I thought.

  14. Persuade your reader with Vivid Descriptions Meandering through the halls, I stumbled over a haphazard backpack of the floor. As I bent down to move it, I felt a wave of claustrophobia wash over me. Jackets, bags, and purses dangled from hooks, and then I heard it: “Someone has stolen my phone.”
