WHY is elaborating in our brief writes important?

• When we write short responses, we want our writing to be clear, coherent, and concise to communicate our ideas effectively.

• We elaborate to make connections, to show our understanding, to explain our reasoning, and support our claims.

• We need to be able to take a lot of information and trim it down to its most important parts!

• Context clues allow the reader to better understand the meanings behind an author’s words, without needing to use a dictionary.
