I can help you complete Steps 4–5, but I don’t have the video or article text. Please either paste your claim and the two sources (or key quotations you want to use), or confirm you want a model/example using hypothetical quotations. Below I give:
- A short checklist for selecting evidence,
- A ready-to-use chart/template you can copy into your assignment,
- Sentence-frame examples and two fully worked example entries (clearly labeled as hypothetical) so you can see how to write the 2–3 sentence explanations.
What I need from you to finish: your claim statement and either (a) the two direct quotations you want to use from each source, or (b) permission to use the example quotations below as placeholders.
Checklist for choosing evidence (pick 2 pieces per source)
- Choose one quotation that shows tone (word choice, emotion, speaker attitude).
- Choose one quotation that shows purpose (what the author/speaker wants the audience to think/do/feel).
- Prefer short, specific lines you can quote exactly (1–2 sentences).
- Make sure the two pieces are different types (don’t pick two quotes that mean the same thing).
Template / chart to copy and fill
Video: “America’s New Path in Space”
- Evidence 1 (tone): [paste quotation here]
- Evidence 2 (purpose): [paste quotation here]
Explanation for Evidence 1 (tone) — 2–3 sentences:
[Write 2–3 sentences explaining how this quotation shows the video’s tone and how that tone supports your claim.]
Explanation for Evidence 2 (purpose) — 2–3 sentences:
[Write 2–3 sentences explaining how this quotation shows the video’s purpose and how that purpose supports your claim.]
Article: “Your Future in Space”
- Evidence 1 (tone): [paste quotation here]
- Evidence 2 (purpose): [paste quotation here]
Explanation for Evidence 1 (tone) — 2–3 sentences:
[Write 2–3 sentences explaining how this quotation shows the article’s tone and how that tone supports your claim.]
Explanation for Evidence 2 (purpose) — 2–3 sentences:
[Write 2–3 sentences explaining how this quotation shows the article’s purpose and how that purpose supports your claim.]
Sentence frames you can use
- The tone of the [article/video] is (adjective). This quotation shows/proves this because (explain word choice, imagery, or speaker attitude). The tone is similar/different than the [other source] because (brief comparison).
- The purpose of the [video/article] is to (inform/persuade/encourage/entertain). This quotation supports the claim because (explain how wording or call-to-action reveals purpose). The purpose is similar to/different from the [other source] because (brief comparison).
Two worked examples (HYPOTHETICAL — replace these with real quotes)
Example — Video evidence (hypothetical)
- Evidence (tone): “We’re re-launching America’s journey beyond the Moon with confidence and urgency.”
Explanation: The tone of the video is confident and urgent. The words “confidence” and “urgency” suggest the speaker wants to inspire immediate support and optimism, which supports the claim that the video aims to rally public and political backing for new space initiatives.
- Evidence (purpose): “Join us as we train the next generation of astronauts and engineers who will take us to Mars.”
Explanation: The purpose of the video is to recruit support and interest in space careers and programs. The direct call “Join us” shows the speaker is asking viewers to take action (support, enroll, or become involved), which supports the claim that the video encourages participation in the new space program.
Example — Article evidence (hypothetical)
- Evidence (tone): “Careers in space are finally within reach for students willing to work hard and study STEM.”
Explanation: The tone of the article is encouraging and pragmatic. The phrase “within reach” conveys optimism, while “willing to work hard” adds a realistic, instructional edge—supporting a claim that the article seeks to motivate readers to prepare for space-related careers.
- Evidence (purpose): “If you pursue an education in engineering or computer science, you’ll be prepared for dozens of jobs in the rapidly growing space sector.”
Explanation: The purpose of the article is to inform and advise students about career paths. This explicit recommendation (“pursue an education in…”) shows the article aims to guide readers’ educational choices, supporting the claim that it’s a practical career-guidance piece.
How to adapt these to your work
1. Replace the hypothetical quotations above with the exact quotations you pulled from the video and article.
2. Use the sentence frames to craft 2–3 sentence explanations for each quotation; tie each explanation back to your claim.
3. Make sure each explanation explicitly says how the evidence supports your claim (not just what the quote means).
If you paste your claim and the four quotations (two from the video, two from the article), I will fill the chart and write the 2–3 sentence explanations for each piece of evidence.
