Description
What It Is:
This is a worksheet designed to help students identify and support claims with evidence. It prompts students to state a claim, consider if it's debatable, and then provide two pieces of evidence to support their claim, including the source of each piece of evidence. There are blank lines for writing the claim and alternative positions, and two boxes labeled 'Evidence 1' and 'Evidence 2' with space underneath for the 'Source of Evidence'.
Grade Level Suitability:
This worksheet is suitable for grades 6-9. The concepts of claim, evidence, and debate are typically introduced and reinforced in middle school. The structure of the worksheet provides support for organizing thoughts, making it accessible to this age group.
Why Use It:
This worksheet helps students develop critical thinking skills by requiring them to formulate claims, consider alternative viewpoints, and support their claims with evidence. It promotes analytical skills, research abilities, and the ability to construct a logical argument. It also encourages source citation.
How to Use It:
First, have students choose a topic and formulate a claim. Then, ask them to consider if the claim is debatable and write down an alternative position. Next, they should research and identify two pieces of evidence that support their claim, writing the evidence in the designated boxes. Finally, they should cite the source of each piece of evidence.
