Answer:

As readers, writers and thinkers, it is natural for students to develop ideas, ask questions, and make claims regarding what they are reading. Citing textual evidence requires students to look back into the text for evidence to support an idea, answer a question or make a claim.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is important to analyze the information you are using for textual evidence because authors often use literary devices like imagery and similies to convey the bigger meaning of the text or, the theme. If textual evidence is not analyzed the possible real meaning will not be understood by the reader, unless the evidence is analyzed.
