Creating Evidence
To support your claim, think of five things the characters in the story did or said that led to your decision.
Think of three things the characters in the story did or said that would support the opposite viewpoint.
How? Look at the image on the Tool for a tour.
Evidence Summary:
Give the evidence a title which represents the ideas. This should be less than five words.
Example: “Jack stole”
Explanation:
Describe how the evidence supports (or does not support) your claim. Have a short retelling or quote from the story, but make sure the section is not too long.
Source:
Ensure that the source information is precise, including:
Page #:
Column #:
Paragraph #: (if the information comes from many paragraphs, note the paragraph number to indicate where the idea first begins)
Work as a team and take turns for each role:
- Computer operator: Inputs evidence the group agrees on
- Evidence seeker(s): Provides evidence that supports or does not support a claim
If team members disagree about the claim or evidence, team members must maturely discuss the issue.
Refer to the rubric often to make sure the team achieves success!
