- Primary & Secondary Sources A primary source is a firsthand account or original material (diary, interview, raw data, original study); a secondary source analyzes, interprets, or summarizes primary sources (textbook, review article, biography).
- Evaluating an Argument Judging whether an author's claim is adequately supported by relevant, sufficient evidence and sound reasoning, rather than by emotion, anecdote, or faulty logic.
- Drawing Conclusions Combining multiple pieces of stated evidence in a passage to arrive at a judgment the author never states directly — a broader cousin of inference.
- Making Predictions Using evidence in the text plus logical reasoning to anticipate what will most likely happen next or what a person described in the passage would most likely do.
- Theme The underlying universal message or insight about life that a literary text conveys — expressed as a complete idea, such as 'pride blinds people to good advice,' not a single word like 'pride.'
- Modes of Writing The four major types of writing: expository (explains or informs), persuasive (argues a position), narrative (tells a story), and technical (gives specialized instructions or procedures).
- Counterargument & Rebuttal A counterargument is the opposing position an author acknowledges; the rebuttal is the author's response showing why that opposing position is weaker than the author's own claim.
- Citing Textual Evidence Identifying the specific words, lines, or details in a passage that support a given claim, inference, or conclusion.
- Evaluating Source Credibility Judging how trustworthy a source is based on the author's expertise, the publisher, the date, the presence of citations, and whether the source has a motive to slant information.
- Transition Words as Signals Connecting words and phrases — however, therefore, in addition, for example, similarly, consequently — that show how an author's ideas relate to one another.
