Study Notes

Understanding Cross-Text Connection Questions

Identify the central argument of each text. Articulating the main point of each text in your own words is crucial.
Distinguish author's views from anticipated counterarguments. Authors may present and analyze opposing views to strengthen their own position. Be aware that not all information in the text reflects the author's personal beliefs.
Recognize nuanced relationships between texts. The connection may not be a simple pro/con argument. Texts might offer similar perspectives with subtle differences, different accounts of the same event, explanations for events, or varying levels of generalization versus specificity.
Adopt a flexible approach to discern the precise relationship between texts.
