The C.A.P.E. Method is a strategic approach designed to help students effectively use evidence in their writing and arguments. It guides students through four key steps:

1. Cite - Accurately reference and present the evidence from reliable resources.

2. Assess - Evaluate the quality and relevance of the evidence to ensure it strongly supports the argument.

3. Prove - Directly connect the evidence to the claim, showing how it supports the main idea.

4. Explain - Analyze the significance of the evidence and clarify why it matters in the broader text of the argument.

By following this method, students learn not only to present evidence but also critically engage with it, building more persuasive and well-reasoned arguments.
