Students examine model claim statements and practice building a corroboration matrix that compares interviews, case files, legal documents, and multilingual service resources by credibility, purpose, and agreement. They use a teacher-provided template to test whether a claim is fully supported, partially supported, or challenged by the evidence set. This prepares teams to avoid overgeneralizing from a single story.
