This chart presents the FUEL Writing Strategy, a four-step framework designed to construct a well-supported written response. It begins with Focus, requiring the writer to state their main claim clearly. This is followed by Understand, where the claim is explained in the writer’s own words. Next, Evidence is introduced by using a direct quote or fact from the text to support the claim. Finally, the Link step completes the process by tying the evidence back to the claim, explicitly showing how it proves the argument. The strategy ensures a systematic and logical flow from argument to support and analysis.
