ACT Preparation / Unit 5 ACT 0409 short lesson, about 20 seconds
Analysis Explains the Evidence
Captions available
The idea
Analysis is the writer's own explanation of why the evidence matters. It connects the evidence to the main point and reinforces that point.
In practice
After the attendance figures: "Students came to school on days they could tend their plants."
Where people slip
Evidence alone leaves the reader to draw the connection; analysis draws it.
