  2. ACE Method • It is important to have a plan or formula to write a short answer response with text evidence. • What is text evidence?? • Using the ACE Method is just one way to focus your response in a clear manner. • Remember, it is not enough to just answer the question

  3. ACE 1. Answer and restate the question asked in the prompt. 2. Cite textual evidence (return to the reading and find at lease one quote direct or indirect), which supports your answer. Direct Quote- A direct quote is a quote in which you copy an author's words directly - word for word. Direct quotes will be surrounded by quotation marks. Example: "I couldn't laugh; I couldn't applaud; it filled me with bitterness to have others do it and to have people make a hero of Hicks and the people around him" (659). Indirect Quote - An indirect quote is a quote in which you paraphrase - put into your own words - what the author is saying. Example: Twain was unable to laugh or applaud, because he was so angry that Hicks could be mesmerized and he could not (659). 3. Explain and Elaborate on your answer and the textual evidence you have provided. A good response will carefully analyze the text, offer textual evidence from the piece or pieces that will directly support your answer and will explain how this evidence supports your answer. Well Supported (Explain and Elaborate) Do not just assert something is true, prove it. What facts, figures, examples, tests, etc. prove your point? In many cases, the difference between an A and a B as a grade is due to the effective use of supporting evidence.
