How do learners use textual evidence from a close reading to write a well-developed essay? Scholars try it by completing a mid-unit assessment based on their analysis of the first 15 paragraphs from "A Genetics of Justice" by Julia Alvarez. They craft formal, multi-paragraph responses to show how the author uses details to develop her ideas.
