My primary source talks about financial crisis in 2008. It is a cartoon concerning who should be blamed for causing financial crisis and the government actions in recovering economy in America.

I would like to include a book titled "The Financial Crisis: Who is to Blame?" in my secondary resource. Also, I will find some peer reviewed journals from data base.

After decribing the contents of the cartoon, I would interprete them with regards to their implications, meanings, as well as potential consequences. Those secondary resources will be helpful in offerring me certatin ideas about how to come up with my implications, meanings, and consequences. I will connect the cartoon to my secondary resources and make explicit relationship between them. I should link the evidence in cartoon and secondary resources to the cartoonist's claims and my own opinions.

1. evidence is used to backup your claims and claims will demonstrate your evidence. They are used together and can serve better for one another.
2. Evidence can substantiate claims; it can also test and refine ideas. It will define key terms more precisely.
3. Recongnize unsubstantiated assertions. Make ditails speak, try to explain their interpretations. Make your evidence advance your claims to make them more accurate.
