Read beyond the claim

A closer reading

Watch the nouns that identify who a paragraph is about. If the discussion begins with one defined group and ends with a broader group, pause at the transition. Look for an explanation of why the same conclusion should apply across that change. The issue is the connection being proposed, not whether a broader question is worth asking. Write down the starting group, the group named in the conclusion, and the reasoning offered between them. This makes an otherwise subtle shift available for inspection instead of allowing it to pass unnoticed.

Questions to take to the source

  1. Who is included in the report, and who is named in the broader claim?
  2. At what point does the paragraph change the group under discussion?
  3. What reasoning supports extending the conclusion beyond the group originally examined?
