🗣️ Claim and Limits Mini-Conference

The teacher models how to turn sorted evidence into a defensible claim, name a counterpoint, and state a source limitation using one sample set that includes a speech excerpt and an archive letter. Students then meet in pairs to rehearse a one-sentence claim, support it with corroborated evidence, and revise their wording after a quick conference. Sentence frames, picture prompts, and oral rehearsal support younger learners, while older students add language about bias, missing voices, and conflicting details.
