⚖️ Counterevidence Sorting Board

Critical Thinking & Problem Solving Content Expertise Effective Communication CCSS.ELA-Literacy.SL.9-10.1 Submission Required

Students learn how to separate strong evidence, weak evidence, and unsupported opinion by testing examples from civil rights texts and current issue sources. They then sort their own collected evidence onto a two-column board labeled 'supports my position' and 'challenges my position,' adding a brief reason for each placement. This just-in-time routine prepares them for writing counterarguments in the next phase.
