sTEP 2 Incorporating Contextualization

After you have completed the chart, provide two claims, and follow each claim with at least

three evidence statements that answer the prompt. (For definitions of claim and evidence,

see Chapter 1.) Your claims should include the context in which all three authors wrote. Your

evidence statements should incorporate similarities and differences from your chart as well

as references to the documents themselves. You will use a categorical outline to organize

your paragraphs.

I. Claim of similarities and their context

Evidence statements:

A. Franklin

B. Whitefield

C. Edwards

II. Claim of differences and their context

Evidence statements:

A. Franklin

B. Whitefield

C. Edwards

Now write a thesis statement that summarizes both of your claims above. For a review of a

thesis statement, see Chapter 1.
