How to Explain and Elaborate on a Claim and Evidence in a Paragraph

This is the BIGGEST MISTAKE that students make when writing their paragraph or essay! So watch this video to find out how to avoid it!

In this video, I cover the purpose of explanation and elaboration in your paragraph. When you use rhetorical questions, you need to explain. When there is an important keyword or idea, you need to elaborate. Before you state a quote, explain the credibility of the author. After your quote, elaborate on what it means!

It is safe to say, elaborate and explain your writing. Never assume! I hope this helps you explain your claim and elaborate on your reasoning in your essay!
