  3. Source Material Organizing information • Students may miss relevant evidence within digital and print sources • Must interpret and sort supporting and contrasting evidence • Often have difficulty organizing argument and visualizing the final form of the manuscript • Digital composition limits experimentation with organization • Source materials may be long and complex or short and dense • Students may not understand intent and argument of author • Not all source materials are relevant to the student’s research topic • Digital reading limits annotation and tactile interaction
