Use the checklist to ensure that your evidence is perfect. If you move through the slides, you'll see examples of what it means to meet the criteria of this checklist.
This video explains the reasons behind using evidence and the steps that we need to take when selecting and using evidence in our work.
This video uses the analogy of a lawyer selecting the best evidence for a court case to an English student selecting the best evidence for their claims.
Sometimes, students will cherry-pick their evidence to prove a point that isn't fully supported by the text. Look at the information in these slides to understand what cherry-picking evidence is, and how it can lead to biased or misleading interpretations. By learning to recognize and avoid this mistake, you'll ensure that your analysis is more balanced, credible, and reflective of the entire text you're analysisng.
