Short explanation

Use evidence or examples from the presentation topic when answering questions. This objective is about spoken support: students need to use a specific example from the presentation topic to prove the answer. Its distinctive vocabulary is example, evidence, support, proof, topic-detail, elaboration, follow-up, reason, detail, demonstration. These words keep the revision task separate from neighbouring spoken-language objectives. Evidence of success comes from topic evidence, factual detail, example, explanation and link back to the question; the common trap is making a confident claim with no supporting detail. Prepare two evidence examples for each main point so a follow-up answer can be supported. In Listening and responding, finish by checking that the answer still suits Presenting and responding and the AQA GCSE English Language spoken endorsement.
