In the writing process after choosing the best piece of text evidence to support the claim that the story is suspenseful, the student should do the following:
1. **Use an introductory phrase to indicate the beginning of their evidence and analysis** - This helps to smoothly introduce the evidence into their argument.
2. **Assure the text evidence is written with quotation marks around it** - This is important for indicating that the text is a direct quote from the original source.
3. **Provide analysis about "how" and "why" the evidence supports his/her claim** - This is crucial for demonstrating the significance of the evidence in relation to the claim of suspense.
The student should not:
- **Discuss biographical details about the author of the passage** - This is not directly relevant to supporting the claim about suspense in the story.
- **Summarize the entire passage** - Summarizing the entire passage can detract from the focus on the specific evidence and its relevance to the claim. It is more effective to analyze specific parts of the text that support the argument.
