The other students can use the original text and check if the textual evidence that Dakota showed is evident and relevant.
Explanation:
Dakota made a statement about writing and Edgar Alan Poe. For her position to be relevant and to be considered by her colleagues, she must present arguments that show her opinion about Poe and that are based on textual evidence, which she took from Poe's works. This will allow students to see Dakota's arguments and search Poe's texts for points she raised in the arguments she established. Thus, students will be able to reflect on whether she is right or not.
