The RACES strategy for organizing evidence in response to a question should be arranged in the following order:
- Think about the answer or answers to the question
- Change the question into a statement
- Gather and cite text evidence
- Tell how the evidence supports your answer
(Note: There seems to be a discrepancy in numbering as the question lists steps 1 to 5, but four steps are provided. Step 4 will be assumed to be retained as "5" for completeness.)
