Working Together: Identify Information in a Source
Working with a group of classmates, identify the main point, reasons, and evidence in the report “Veterans Put to Work Helping Low-Income Families in Colorado.”
List the main point at the top of your page. Determine what the author is asking you to know, believe, or do.
Briefly list each reason to accept the main point in the order in which it appears in the source. You might want to brainstorm lists individually based on your reading of the article and then share your ideas to create the group’s list.
Determine the most important evidence offered as proof for each reason. Once you’ve agreed on the reasons, work together to identify the evidence used to support each reason.
