 \nTo practice choosing your own words and not taking phrasesword for word from the passage.  \nWhat are the four steps for completing the extended response for the GED®?  \nReading, Organizing Evidence, Writing, Proofreading and Editing  \n3  \nYour Background Knowledge  \nWhat is a claim?  \nA claim is an assertion that something is true. It is typically one to two sentences long. Authors use claims to set up their arguments: the claim is the central point that they argue.  \nDogs are better pets than cats? Claim (yes or no)? No  \n75% of dog owners say that they like dogs better than cats. Claim (yes or no)? No  \n4  \nAnalyzing Evidence and Stating a Claim  \n• Sometimes evidence will be strong in both passages. Other times, there will be strong evidence on both sides.  \n• Your job to analyze the evidence, take a stand, and support it with evidence from BOTH passages.  \n• There is not necessarily a correct answer!  \n5  \nPractice Analyzing the Evidence Together  \nDirections: Together, we will review the evidence we gathered from both sides of the argument in Parts 2A and 2B of your worksheets.  \n• Determine which position is better supported based on your analysis of the evidence.  \n• Questions to consider:  \n• Which side presented stronger evidence?  \n• Why is the evidence stronger?  \n• It might help to rank the evidence identified in sections 2(A) and 2(B) of your worksheets.  \n• Remember there is not necessarily a correct answer.  \n6  \nStating a Claim  \n• The claim is your point of view on the argument based on your evaluation of the evidence.  \n• Make your position clear.  \n• Provide insight to what you’ll be discussing in your essay.  \n• Use evidence from both passages to support your claim.  \n7  \nNeed Help Writing Your Claim? Incorporate Writing Frames  \nAlthough   (believes, demonstrates, argues) that  \n____________________________________, _________________  \nsupports/provides the clearest evidence   because   .  \nWhen comparing the two positions in this article,   provides the clearest evidence that   because  \nLooking at the arguments regarding   , it is clear that  \n8  \nGuided Practice: Example Claims  \n\n| Claim (Decision) |\n| --- |\n| When comparing the two positions, the author that supports   had better evidence. |\n\n\n| Claim (Decision) |\n| --- |\n| When comparing the two positions, the author that opposed   had better evidence. |\n\n9  \nOrganizing the GED ® Extended Response (Essay) Worksheet: Part 3  \nDirections: Complete Part 3 of the Organizing the GED® Extended Response.  \nNow it’s your turn to write a claim (the argument you think is better supported) and provide three reasons. Include supporting evidence with each reason. Be sure to include evidence from both sides of the argument.  \n10","cbCaifsBV2nYMbIE","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaifsBV2nYMbIE","pdf",92955,16,"English","# Learning Goals\n# Extended Response Review\n# Your Background Knowledge\n# Analyzing Evidence and Stating a Claim\n# Practice Analyzing the Evidence Together\n# Stating a Claim\n# Need Help Writing Your Claim?
