Organize Parts (Points) Support

Think about the most logical way to organize your response. How do you group information together?

Work on each part of the question. This step can also remind you to check for how many points you can earn.

Add support to your answer. Support can be quotes, details, descriptions or clarifications. Use the performance verbs as a guide for how to support your answer.
