This activity is designed to challenge students to find a claim and evidence within a graphic data set. Students will previously have learned about claims and evidence and will use this activity as a way to show that they can identify them within a set of data. Teachers are welcome to present any argument, but the chosen resource argues around cell phone use in school making it relatable to today's students.
This learning activity was created as a result of the ALEX - Alabama Virtual Library (AVL) Resource Development Summit.
This activity is designed to get students thinking about the ways we use informational media to support arguments and make claims. In this activity, students will analyze infographical information to determine what claim is being made with the evidence provided. Students will have previously built a definition of claims and evidence to transfer to this activity.
This activity is designed to help students learn and understand what a claim is and what evidence is. Students will collaborate to create a definition for both claim and for evidence. The teacher will assist students in solidifying their understanding of each term.
