Reasoning Matters
After you introduce evidence into your writing, you must say why and how this evidence supports your argument. What turns a fact or piece of information into evidence is the connection it has with a larger claim or argument: evidence is always evidence for or against something, and you have to make that link clear with reasoning. We should not assume that our readers already know what we are talking about. The audience can’t read our minds: although they may be familiar with many of the ideas we are discussing, they don’t know what we are trying to do with those ideas unless we indicate it through reasoning.

16. Write a Paragraph
For each piece of evidence used in your writing, clearly state your reasoning.

Evidence: According to a journal written by Antonio Pigafetta in 1520 CE, “…where we remained three months and twenty days without taking provisions…” (Doc. D)
