"The Art of": Points of Emphasis


As you prepare your full drafts this week, try to remain conscious of these three points of emphasis:

(1) A strong claim should describe a general observation, a general inference, or both.

(2) Supporting evidence should take the form of specific observations. That is, describe specific elements in detail.

(3) The discussion section of these paragraphs should be more specific about the inferences (tone or ideas/themes) than they were in the claim. They should not evaluate the work (say whether it is well done or not).
