Open+Ended+Steps

=Remember Your "Steps" Tool when writing open-ended response :)=

Step One:
__//Restate (claim)//__ (Pretend you are in court in front of a judge and STATE YOUR CLAIM... straight to the point)

Step Two:
__//Evidence//__ (Proof from text or reliable source. Make sure you credit the source you take from) This also MUST point back to the claim and help prove that your "claim" is true.

Step Three:
//__Explain__// (Answers the question "Why or how is my evidence relevant to the claim?" "Why or how is my evidence important to proving my claim?")

Step Four:
//__Restate Claim__// (End by restating your claim in a different way)
