A. Reasoning and evidence are required for support of an author's claim or recommendation.	A.1 How does one determine when reasoning and evidence supports a claim or recommendation? A.2 How might requirements for reasoning and evidence in textual support differ for different problems? For claims or recommendations for a given scientific problem? For a technical problem?

3. Common Core State Standards: ELA Standards for Science/Technical > 11-12 > IKI > S.8
