Claims, Evidence, and Reasoning How to write a logical explanation

Claims Claims are statements that answer your original question. The claim is usually one sentence in length. It must be accurate, specific, and completely answer the question.

Evidence The evidence is all of the research/data that supports your claim. Your evidence must be related to your claim. Not all data is considered evidence! Evidence can be specific data (quotes, facts, etc) from the reading.

Evidence The evidence is all of the scientific data that supports your claim. It can also come from other sources such as: computer simulations, websites, textbook, class notes, personal experiences, etc. It is important to have numerous pieces of evidence in order to prove your claim!

Reasoning Reasoning is the explanation that connects your claim to the evidence that supports it. It shows why the data you chose counts as evidence. You cannot assume that readers will understand the evidence the same way you do; therefore, you must explain it to them.

Reasoning Reasoning is the explanation that connects your claim to the evidence that supports it. It shows a detailed understanding of the critical thinking and reading strategies involved and uses correct academic vocabulary. The reasoning should usually be at least two to four sentences in length.

Let's apply this to Mr. Xavier... Claim: Clearly state how Mr. Xavier died. Don't just say "He was murdered." You would need to state how he died and who murdered him. Evidence: List all of the related observations that support your claim. Reasoning: Explain why your evidence proves your claim to be true. (Pretend you are a lawyer.)

Real-World Claims People make claims all of the time. Friends, parents, and just about every commerical on TV is making a claim about something. Discuss some claims you have heard recently with your partner.

"The Earth is supported by turtles!" Some examples... Global warming Energy drinks Bottled water Diets Axe body spray Airborne Organic food Vaccinations "2012" Sketchers Vitamins Furniture stores Car insurance Magnet bracelets "The Earth is supported by turtles!" - Mr. Dunn

Thomas Huxley quote

Homework Assignment 1. Use one of the sentence starters below to make a claim. A) The greatest (choose one) football / hockey / baseball / basketball player is ________________________. B) The best movie is ____________________________. C) The greatest musical artist (solo or group) is ___________.

Homework Assignment 2. Write down at least 3 pieces of evidence that support your claim. This data must be accurate! 3. Provide reasoning that explains why you used the evidence you did to determine the "best".

Tomorrow in class... 1. You will sit with all other students who chose the same category. (example: best movie) 2. Share your claim, evidence, and reasoning with the other students. 3. Have a debate.
