Writing Workshop: Evaluating Sources That Support a Claim

Question 1 • CA-Common Core English Language Arts 11 B Credit Recovery 5 Credits

An essay that effectively compares two editorials must include

Answer
A
a description of why the author chose each editorial.
B
the author’s opinion of the topic that the editorials discuss.
C
a paragraph that summarizes the counterarguments of each editorial.
D
a paragraph that assesses which editorial’s argument stronger.

Explanation

An effective comparison should do more than describe or summarize each editorial; it should analyze how their arguments differ and evaluate their effectiveness. Assessing which editorial makes the stronger argument directly accomplishes this. The writer’s personal opinion of the topic is not required unless it helps support that evaluation.
