Find Your Evidence

A quick opening/closing routine, this student activity that guides learners through the process of developing evidence-based claims from a source. It scaffolds thinking by prompting students to first activate prior knowledge, then identify relevant evidence from a text or source, and finally synthesize their ideas into a clear claim with supporting reasoning, helping build foundational skills in analysis and argumentation.
