Identifying EXPLICIT & IMPLICIT Claims in The Text

The document discusses explicit and implicit claims in text. Explicit claims are ideas that are directly stated in the text and require no interpretation. Implicit claims are ideas that are suggested but not directly stated, requiring the reader to think about clues and use background knowledge to infer the idea. The example text states that all living things are made of cells and that humans are alive, therefore humans are made of cells. The main idea is that cells are the building blocks of the human body.

Identifying EXPLICIT &

IMPLICIT Claims in the Text


EXPLICIT CLAIMS IN TEXT
1. EXPLICIT INFORMATION is any IDEA that is
STATED.
2. With EXPLICIT INFORMATION you see the TEXT
EXPLAINED!
3. Since you are looking for Explicit Information in
what is read, the EXPLICIT INFORMATION will be
WRITTEN in the TEXT. There is NO NEED to LOOK for
CLUES. JUST READ, IF THE INFORMATION IS WRITTEN,
IT IS EXPLICIT.
LET’S MAKE IT A TRY!
•All living things are made up of cells. Since
humans are alive, we are also made of cells.
Cells makes our body tissue. Tissue makes
our body organs. Organs make our body
systems. Cells are the building blocks of our
bodies.
1.What are made of cells?
2.What is the main Idea of the text?
IMPLICIT CLAIMS IN TEXT
• IMPLICIT INFORMATIONS is understood but is not
stated. To find IMPLICIT INFORMATIONS in what
is read, you will have to THINK about what you
READ. LOOK FOR CLUES AS YOU READ.
• IMPLICIT INFORMATION IS NOT WRITTEN. But
the IDEA is THERE. IMPLICIT INFORMATION is
USING WHAT IS READ to make an INFERENCE or
based on your BACKGROUND KNOWLEDGE or
your ASSUMPTIONS.
