What's Inside

In this article, the authors share how to teach students the art and science of argumentation. Through actual classroom scenarios, we view teachers supporting students in real-world research, where they engage in crafting investigations, collecting and considering multiple data sources, and conveying and supporting evidence-based claims. Rubrics, data-collection sheets, instructional guides, and sentence frames to help students develop coherent, cohesive arguments, that include claims, evidence, warrants, and counterclaims are included.
