What This Standard Means
What Students Need to Do
- Students listen to a classmate's argument and identify its claim and supporting evidence. They ask questions to clarify or test the argument, then respond to what the classmate actually said.
What Mastery Looks Like
- A student can restate a speaker's claim fairly and point to the evidence the speaker used. They ask a question about missing evidence or an unclear point before offering a response.
Common Misconceptions
- Students may repeat a speaker's words without identifying the claim. They may treat one vivid story as proof of a broad claim. Some plan a rebuttal instead of listening for a point to question.
How to Assess It
- Give pairs a short excerpt from a factory inspection report and two minutes to discuss child labor laws. On an exit ticket, students record their partner's claim, one cited detail, a question they asked, and their partner's answer.
Lesson moves
Ways to Teach It
Give pairs three sticky notes to record a classmate's claim, cited detail, and follow-up question during a one-minute statement on child labor laws.
Ask, "Which part of your partner's argument about child labor laws needs more evidence, and what question would you ask?"
Run a claim-evidence-question relay: one student argues for a child labor law, and the next restates the claim and asks for proof.
Give groups a printed school phone rule and hold a mock board hearing; listeners ask speakers for evidence before voting.
