When developing your line of reasoning (LoR), it is important to think carefully about how you organize your sources/texts within your overall argument. Some arguments benefit from using statistical sources first, while other may get more traction with an audience by leading with sources that document first-hand, personal accounts. In any case, you will need to include a variety of source types within each part of your argument. As the researcher and author, it is your job to weave these texts together in a deliberate order that best helps the audience to understand, and hopefully agree, with your assessment of the situation.
