Claims and Transitions

When it comes to academic writing, it's necessary to be able to navigate between the source material and your own assertions effectively. Often one of the most challenging aspects of this process is constructing claims that exhibit a thorough understanding of the material, and are both specific and assertive. Another element that frequently troubles students is transitioning among those claims throughout the body of the text. This link will take you to a variety of templates that can assist in framing your ideas, transitioning, and constructing claims that are clear and conscientious. Be aware that the templates are not "one size fits all," so you will have to use discretion to ensure you're selecting the appropriate templates as dictated by the needs of your assignment.
