Critical Thinking & Problem Solving Content Expertise CCSS.ELA-Literacy.WHST.6-8.7 CCSS.ELA-Literacy.WHST.6-8.1 Submission Required

Students examine a short set of issue sources connected to school and community change, including a news article, a student survey summary, and a community organization webpage. Using a credibility checklist, they label evidence as stronger, weaker, or needing verification, then place it on a support/challenge T-chart tied to their team's developing position. Pairs discuss which evidence is most useful for making an arguable claim rather than a personal opinion.
