What this printable helps you do
Explain the connection between evidence and the point it supports. Work on a short passage before applying a change throughout a draft. Keep the audience and purpose in mind, and compare the original with the revision side by side. A change is useful when it makes meaning clearer or better supports the intended effect. Keep wording that already works rather than changing it simply to make the page look revised.
What is on the page
Four numbered writing areas guide you through a short sequence. Complete the early steps before deciding what to put in the later ones, and return to an earlier box if the evidence or plan changes. The four headings are Point to support, Evidence summary, Why it matters, Link back to point. Add a subject identifier and date at the top so the page can be understood when you return to it.
How to use it
After recording evidence, finish a sentence that states what it shows in this argument. Start with one example rather than filling the whole page at once. Use ordinary language you will understand later and add a reference where a note depends on another source.
A practical example
A survey result needs an explanation of how the measured response relates to your specific claim. This illustrates how to begin; the downloadable page is blank so you can use your own subject, materials and observations.
Review before you reuse it
Do not stretch a source beyond what its sample or wording can support. Read the finished page from the perspective of someone who was not present. Clarify an abbreviation, mark an unanswered question and identify the next small action if one is needed.
