  1. From Persuasion to Argumentation Argumentation Persuasion

  2. Learning Objectives 4d Examine what each part of argumentation is: claim, support/evidence, and explanation/ commentary (CSE). Understand how the “parts” of argumentation work together to create impactful writing that matures over time. Success Criteria Create a claim using the Four Corners Strategy. Examine an argument to recognize claims, support, and explanation.

  3. NOTE!!! Argumentative writing should be done as a response to reading and/or analyzing primary and secondary sources.

  4. The Parts of an Argument S. Think C. E. - includes “evidence” - also called “commentary”

  5. Turn and Talk: What is a Claim?Discuss at your table. • what the writer wants to prove • must be proven with evidence • must be argumentative – for a certain interpretation or understanding of a subject • is specific and makes a focused argument

  6. Close Read: Watch with Purpose(look for his claim)

  7. Consider the Amistad Video Clip We’ll come back to this on Handout #4. Don’t forget this claim from this Amistad video clip! 1. Determine the claim John Quincy Adams is making to the jury. 2. Discuss your answer with the table. All men are free.

  8. Now, apply what you know about claims to text.Handout #1 - Slip or Trip?Four Corners Claim 1. Each teacher gets a sticky note. Follow Handout #1 2. Groups will place their sticky notes on each of the four corners of the back of Handout #1. 3. Next, groups will synthesize all four answers to make the best possible claim on the back of Handout #1. 4. Discuss how you could use this strategy in your classroom. How would you change it to work for your subject, grade level, and student abilities? 1e

  9. Once you make a claim, you back it with support!

  10. What is Support/Evidence? Support and evidence follow the claim.

  11. Support/Evidence… • must be relevant and verifiable • Example: • Queenie claims Arthur slipped and fell, yet he is holding a glass in his hand.

  12. Support/Evidence… • could include quotes taken from text • Example: • Queenie also said that Arthur was “coming down” the stairs, yet his body is facing upwards.

  13. Support/Evidence… • could be a warrant – common sense rules that people accept as generally true, laws, and thoughtfully argued definitions • Example: • Murder is an intentional act of violence.

  14. What is the Explanation/Commentary? You may not realize how much commentary you already hear!

  15. The Explanation/Commentary… • is an explanation in your own words • explains HOW the evidence supports the claim. • personalizes the argument -- taking someone else’s idea and making it your own.

  16. Handout #2 – Support and Explanation in Writing Samples Locate the Claim, Support, and Explanation Look at the writing sample. Independently, underline where the claim, “support” (evidence) and the “explanation” (commentary) are all located. With the person next to you, discuss what you found. Was there enough support? Was there enough of an explanation?

  17. Handout #3: Strategies for Argumentation Remember… You could use the acronym to help students organize a written argument. S. Think C. E. C – claim S – support E – explanation

  18. Handout #3: Strategies for Argumentation Barbara Blackburn, author of Rigor Made Easy, reminds us that “scaffolding strategies” support students to perform at high levels. R.A.C.E. is a scaffolding strategy to help students write better arguments. – an accommodation with the same expectation! R - restate question in your answer A - answer, using a clear and explicit statement C - cite text E - explanation, making a direct connection of your evidence to your answer.

  19. Close Read: 2nd Read with PurposeUse Handout #4 Remember the claim from the Amistad video clip? Now you will apply what you’ve learned about support/evidence and explanation/commentary to John Quincy Adams’ argument. 1. Find two examples of both support/evidence and two examples of explanation/commentary. Write your responses on Handout #4. 2. Be prepared to discuss your answers at your table.

  20. Close Read: Second Read with Purpose – Use Handout #4
