Backing (also referred to as the foundation): Additional logic or reasoning that may be necessary to support the warrant.

# data[].attributes.body
Simply put, a warrant is the logical connection between a claim and a supporting fact. Sometimes, the logical connection, the way in which a fact logically supports a claim, will be clear, possibly so clear that no explanation from the writer is needed. More often, though, the writer needs to supply the warrant; in other words, the writer needs to explain how and why a particular piece of evidence is good support for a specific claim.

Writing into the Day:
Look over your essay. How many sentences are "commentary" sentences? In what ways did you use commentary and how many times each? Example: 10 commentary sentences; 4 illustrating; 3 extending; 3 countering.
*Now, mark up your paper according to the guide below. Be sure to only highlight the first and last words of the sentence with the appropriate color; by doing this, it gives others an opportunity to put a different color if they see fit.
*After 10 min. with your own paper, have 5 minutes of table talk to discuss what you found in your paper, and ask group members clarifying questions, if needed.
*Now, everyone at your table swap papers with another table. Complete the same highlighting procedure with a peer's paper for 10 min. Then, we will have table talk and time for questions in small group and whole group.

Writing into the Day:
In sentence form, record which article you will use to support your claim and which article you will use to describe the counterclaims (the articles that go against your claim).

* Upon getting a checkmark from me, which shows you have adequately completed the step above, you may begin writing your argumentative essay. We will take a 10 min. break in just a little bit to have table talk, so please refrain from that otherwise.
