Analyzing and Interpreting Literature / Unit 12 AIL 1102 short lesson, about 20 seconds
What Changes When a Passage Argues
Captions available
The idea
A story develops through events; an argument develops through claims and support. The reading procedure does not change, but the thing you are tracking does. Ask what is being asserted and what is offered to make it stick, rather than what happens next.
In practice
Track claims, not events.
Where people slip
The procedure holds; the object changes.
