Providing support for claims

After students have grounds for their claims, have them work independently or collaboratively to identify backing (in-depth information specific to the grounds that helps establish its legitimacy) and qualifiers (exceptions to the claim that may work to undermine its legitimacy). Students can use the Internet to locate, catalog, and annotate their findings. Students should also seek feedback on the degree to which their findings work to legitimize or undermine their claim.

2. Examining statistical claims for errors

This strategy connects to Element 18, which was helping students examine errors in reasoning such as faulty logic, attack, weak references, and misinformation. Students are still examining forThis element introduces claims for errors as it pertains to statistics. These errors include:
- Analyzing regression toward the mean
- Evaluating errors of conjunction
- Keeping aware of base rates
- Understanding the limits of extrapolation
- Adjusting estimates of risk to account for cumulative nature of probabilistic events

3. Scoring scales
Scoring scales are teacher-created and help students self-monitor their progress and keep track of their improvement towards a cognitively complex task. The scoring scale should include the learning goal, a simpler learning goal, and a complex learning goal.

4. Feedback
Effective feedback includes discussing why answers are correct and incorrect, how to improve answers and highlighting how students have improved.

Examples include Participate (formerly eduClipper, Diigo, Instapaper, Google Keep, and Flipboard.

Some reputable and student-friendly search engines include Google Scholar, Wolfram Alpha, and iSeek Education.

Use online annotation independently and collaboratively evaluate their findings. Examples include Kami, XODO, and do not forget trusty Google Docs that has built-in annotation tools.

Use online polling software to prompt whole-class discussion as students examine claims in errors in reasoning. Polling software can also be a way for students to share their level of understanding on a scoring scale. Examples of tools include Poll Everywhere for mobile devices, Google Slides, and Powerpoint.

Try using a blog as a learning journal. Students can write and reflect and share their learning with a larger audience and receive more feedback. Blogger, which is hosted by Google when used in conjunction with Google Groups is a great way for teachers to control who accesses publishes and leave comments on the blog.

Using Internet research tools is a must here when students are looking for backing and qualifiers for their claims. However, make sure that students are using reputable online sources., especially if they are looking for statistical data. Some really good ones are Google Scholar or iSeek Education.

2. Examining statistical Claims for Errors
Help students make connections between the similarities and differences between examining for errors in reasoning and examining claims for errors when the backing is statistical in nature. It's best to make charts of the types of errors and the descriptions of these errors. This is a great opportunity for collaboration as well. Before releasing students for independent work, evaluate one claim as a class for errors in reasoning.
3. Scoring Scales

One really good strategy is to have students share their self-evaluations from the scoring scales. Students can then share their experiences and strategies and find other classmates to assist them. This can be especially useful if used at strategic parts of the task because it can help the teacher adjust and provide better support.

4. Feedback
Make sure that students are keeping track of the feedback they are receiving. One strategy for this is keeping a journal of their feedback. The journal can be used to help students as well at the teacher identify student strengths, weaknesses, and the supports that are still needed. The learning logs can also be used student to student, with students leaving feedback and comments on each other's experiences.
