Move beyond identifying a technique: explain why a writer makes a choice for a particular audience. Build clear, evidence-based arguments and learn to connect sources without losing your own line of reasoning.
Identify the situation, intended audience and purpose before annotating techniques. Select a few significant choices and explain their function in the argument. A paragraph needs commentary connecting evidence to your claim, rather than a list of devices.
Compare the positions and limitations of sources, then use relevant evidence to develop your own qualified claim. Practise integrating and attributing sources, addressing a counterargument and maintaining a coherent line of reasoning. For argument practice, distinguish a relevant example from an unsupported generalisation.
