Develop claim(s) and counterclaims fairly and thoroughly, supplying the most relevant data and evidence for each while pointing out the strengths and limitations of both claim(s) and counterclaims in a discipline-appropriate form that anticipates the audience’s knowledge level, concerns, values, and possible biases.c. Use words, phrases, and clauses as well asvaried syntax to link the major sections of thetext, create cohesion, and clarify therelationships between claim(s) and reasons,between reasons and evidence, and betweenclaim(s) and counterclaims.d. Establish and maintain a formal style andobjective tone while attending to the normsand conventions of the discipline in whichthey are writing.e.

Develop the topic thoroughly by selecting the most significant and relevant facts, extended definitions, concrete details, quotations, or other information and examples appropriate to the audience’s knowledge of the topic.c. Use varied transitions and sentencestructures to link the major sections of thetext, create cohesion, and clarify therelationships among complex ideas andconcepts.d. Use precise language, domain-specificvocabulary and techniques such asmetaphor, simile, and analogy to manage thecomplexity of the topic; convey aknowledgeable stance in a style thatresponds to the discipline and context as wellas to the expertise of likely readers.e.
