Module 3 of 5

Empty
Evidence and argument
Build a claim that holds up under a skeptical reader.
Module description
This week you stop summarizing and start arguing. You'll learn to find the claim in a piece of writing, test the evidence behind it, and build a claim of your own that a skeptical reader can't wave away.

Still needs content blocks.

Overview
What makes a claim hold up, and how do you build one that does?
Reading

Source encounter. Readings get done when students know what they're hunting for. Give them the questions before the pages.

They Say / I Say, chapters 1–3
Video

Modeled thinking. Show how an expert thinks, not just what they know. Short beats long — plan the beats before the camera rolls.

Watching a claim get tested
Quiz / Check

Retrieval practice. Low-stakes recall beats re-reading. Small, frequent, and repeatable until mastery.

Spot the claim
Discussion

Thinking together. Ask for a position, not a summary. Students sharpen ideas against each other — not just for you.

Take a side on this week's op-ed and defend it with one piece of evidence.
