Distinguish Fact from Opinion What is Evidence?

• Historians try to back up their viewpoints about
  the past. Sometimes they simply state factual
  information or examples. When no source is given
  for this factual information or these examples,
  you dont know who said it or where it came from.
• When historians give the source for their
  information, those historians are presenting
  evidence. There are three types of evidence
• Statement by witnesses or other people with a
  reason to know
• Written documents
• Objects
• To decide if an argument is supported by
  evidence, ask yourself Is there a statement by
  someone other than the author of the argument, a
  written document, or an object? If not, then
  there is no evidence in the argument.

• Label each of the following as (E) support of
  evidence, (I) Information without evidence, (N)
  neither evidence nor information
• Marie is the best volleyball player on our team.
• Coach Jones says that Bob is the best player on
  the tennis team.
• The scorebook shows that Fred, with an average of
  .490, is the best hitter in the league.
• The French were late in establishing colonies in
  the New World because they did not give their
  explorers, and Cartier, enough support after
  their first voyages.
• John Cabot was popular in England after he
  returned from the New World. According to a
  London newspaper of the time, Londoners paid him
  vast honor and ran after him like mad people.
• One of the first French settlements in the New
  World was near Quebec. The remains of the
  settlement have been dated to the 1640s.
