lesson 5: Gathering Evidence
Gathering what?
What are we doing in this lesson?
Good question! Well, what did we do in the last lesson? Remember? Me either...let me take a look. You should too, it will help you understand what we are doing in this lesson. So take a minute to refresh your memory by reviewing the last lesson here.
Oh yeah! We are learning how to construct an academic argument.
Since the title of this lesson is "Gathering Evidence," it's probably a good guess that we are going to learn how to gather evidence for an academic argument.
Gathering evidence is like picking flowers for a bouquet. There are a lot of good flowers to pick, but you only need a few. Just like finding evidence to support your argument. There is so much online, but you only need a few well-chosen sources.
