I feel confident about my ability to introduce and develop a claim because I have practiced identifying the main argument and supporting it with evidence and reasoning. It can be challenging to acknowledge an opposing claim because it requires considering different perspectives and finding counterarguments. One strategy for organizing my reasons and evidence logically is to create an outline before writing my argument. In order to figure out whether a source that I've found is credible, I can check if it comes from a reputable author or publication and if it is based on reliable research. One way to remember to check for cohesion in my argument is to read my essay aloud and see if the ideas flow smoothly from one to another. If I am not sure that my conclusion maintains a formal style, I can review samples of well-written conclusions and revise mine accordingly.
