sentence 1= the claim in 1 sentence (restate the question to express your thoughts and your reasons for them)
sentence 2= clarify your claim (go into further detail over what you meant in sentence 1)
sentence 3= first piece of evidence (make sure you are not using an extremely long quote/they look bad)
sentence 4/5 = the sentences explaining how or why your evidence proves your point (use a transition to explain what exactly about this example is connecting to your claim. Don't announce - I believe/ Hello my name is/ In my opinion)
sentence 6 = evidence 2 (try to change up the type of evidence to give your response some variety. Meaning if you started with a quote then bring in some paraphrasing or try paraphrasing and quoting together.)
