In today’s lesson, you will revisit each “cluster” of evidence gathered from your research, in order to begin composing the middle of your argument. This will help you uncover and perhaps, refine your claim.
Have a peek at today’s video lesson in order to learn more, and take your time with this part of the process. Move forward when you’re ready. That may not be tomorrow.
You’ve finished this lesson when:
–You’ve revisited the clusters of evidence you created in our last lesson and paraphrased each bit of it.
–You’ve considered the balance of evidence in these clusters. If you find that some evidence clusters are far more populated than others, you will want to do additional research to create balance between the different types of evidence you’re offering.
–You’ve used your paraphrased this evidence in order to begin composing the middle of your draft, using your own words, one bit at a time.
–You’ve clarified what you claim should be, based on the evidence you’ve gathered.
