How can we VALIDATE a claim?
EVIDENCE!
What is “evidence” ??Evidence is all the data that supports your claim*
Evidence must be sufficient (enough) and relevant to your claim*

Important to have MORE THAN ONE piece of evidence! (Why?)
Makes your argument stronger!
JOURNALS OUT! Take notes!
What comes after evidence?
Make a claim, provide a fact (evidence)… that’s it?
REASONING*

Shows that you have an understanding of the relationship between the evidence and your claim
