Explication is a fundamental skill for anyone engaged in interpreting texts - whether teacher, critic, editor, historian. attorney, clergy, or any professional involved with written language. Explicating texts helps students to learn critical thinking and verbal skills pertaining to the synthesis and presentation of information. It consists of two parts: 1)A detailed reading and analysis of the linguistic, compositional, and expressive parts of a text. This is an analysis of particular parts of the text that serve as evidence for part 2. 2)The synthesis of these parts into a coherent meaning for the whole. Basically, this means that your evidence from part 1 adds up to prove your thesis/assertion about the text. This assertion should be explicitly stated and should concern some hidden aspect of the text that needs further analysis or interpretation.
