Urban Species CARS Passage Breakdown | How to Find the Author’s Argument in Science-Heavy Passages

Science-heavy CARS passages got you zoning out? In this Jack Westin CARS Reading Skills Workshop, Molly and Jack unpack the “Urban Species” passage, showing how to track scientific tone, spot the author’s stance, and separate data from argument without overreading.

You’ll learn how to: 

✅ Identify when examples (like species adaptation or ecology studies) support vs. distract from the claim

✅ Stay focused when scientific details feel overwhelming

✅ Build a clear main idea from subtle cues and contrast words

💡 Practice the “Urban Species” passage here:
