Question

Which strategies best support the evidence-gathering process when reviewing a primary or secondary source? Select three options.

annotating
highlighting
memorizing
outlining
rewriting

Answer 1

- Annotating — adds notes, questions, and sources directly on the text, helping capture evidence and interpret it later.
- Highlighting — flags key passages and evidence quickly so you can return to them when building an argument.
- Outlining — organizes collected evidence and the source’s main claims, making it easier to see how pieces of evidence fit into your analysis.

Not selected: memorizing (not necessary for gathering evidence) and rewriting (can help synthesis but is less efficient for initially collecting and organizing evidence).
