Underline key words in the question that will help you focus your response. For example, does the question ask why, ask you to compare two things, or include a quotation from the text? 3. Reread the text. As you do so, list words, phrases, sentences, and/or ideas in the text that can help you answer the question. § § § § § 4. Think about how the evidence you gathered in step 3 can help you answer the question. Which pieces of evidence are strongest? Which link most logically to the question? Place checkmarks by the strongest pieces of evidence. 5. Write your response to the question using the strongest pieces of evidence. Be sure to link each piece of evidence to the question; don’t just quote words randomly. Does the evidence help explain a metaphor? Does it provide a reason that supports the author’s key idea? Does it help show how the author created a certain effect, such as a tone toward the topic or a mood in the reader? Identify this connection clearly for your reader.
