I recommend using these resources as part of an expository, persuasive, or literary analysis unit. When writing about a text, inferring information from textual evidence, exploring a film or a play, or any time you want students to engage with a quote or series of excerpts, use this tool to assess their thinking and promote writing in the classroom.
