PurposeThe purpose of this activity is to practice identifying evidence to use as support in your paper. In the same way we have been identifying important lines from texts throughout the semester, you need to find the best evidence to support your ideas in the research you have done.InstructionsFor this assignment, please complete the following:Review all the work you have done for the research paper, such as the proposal and annotated bibliography work.Think about your tentative thesis and revise it based on your research and ideas so far as a way to guide you in the next steps. The goal is to synthesize what you have done so far so that you can find the best evidence for your ideas.Find 2 pieces of evidence (golden lines) from the sources you read in assignments 4.4 and 4.5 that you think you could use in your research paper. You should find two quotes from each source, for a total of 10 pieces of evidence. Be sure to either copy and paste or re-type the direct quotes, and include the parenthetical citation (Author last name and page number).For each piece of evidence, write a minimum of 50 words that explain the quote and how it supports your research. In other words, analyze the quote and explain which arguments or ideas of yours it will support, or how you will use it.Post your work here for credit.***By doing this, you will have evidence and a start on your analysis for your paper draft. Remember to use this for your paper, as well as the other work you have done for this class, including your essays. If you want to review choosing and using sources, please read the entire chapter on analyzing sources in your handbook, specifically the page on synthesizing sources.Link to Chapter on Sources
