Writing Workshop: Evaluating Sources That Support a Claim

Question 6 • CA-Common Core English Language Arts 11 B Credit Recovery 5 Credits

Which is a common and effective structure for an essay that compares two editorials?

Answer
A
summarizing the content of both editorials without evaluating it
B
only summarizing one editorial and providing few details on the other
C
persuading readers that one editorial is stronger than the other
D
evaluating one editorial’s argument and then the other’s argument

Explanation

A common effective structure is to assess each editorial’s argument in turn, considering how well each supports its claims. This lets readers compare the editorials’ reasoning and evidence. Merely summarizing, as in A or B, does not evaluate the arguments, while C focuses on persuading readers that one is stronger rather than comparing both fairly.
