Students closely read a youth activist speech excerpt set and one issue article, then color-code claim, reasons, evidence, and persuasive language in a shared annotation routine. They transfer the strongest examples into an evidence map that separates supporting evidence from challenging evidence. Students end with a quick voice memo naming one idea, one feeling, and one way their thinking shifted after the activist study.
