  2. Workshop Cont. • Point to one assumption that the writer has identified in the essay. Where is it? Does the writer need to identify the assumption earlier? • What evidence does the writer give for the claim made about the assumption? Is this evidence convincing or not? What is strong or weak about the evidence or explanation offered in analyzing the assumption?
