Adding a card starts by asking what kind of idea you’re adding. That question is doing real work: the types are a small shared vocabulary for the moves that build knowledge.

In this clip

• Bit — a raw thought you can’t categorize yet
• Question — something you want to open up
• Claim — a statement you want to test
• Evidence — what you test a claim against
• Synthesis — several ideas pulled together
• Draw — a sketch
• Changing a card’s type by clicking its symbol

Try it: Look at a card you wrote earlier. Is it still the type you gave it? If your thinking moved, change it.
