In order to produce strong argument, students must authentically connect with the evidence and their own logic. That is the 'critical' part of 'critical thinking.' The nuances, qualifications, and limitations that students will place on a claim in an excellent written argument cannot be constructed without an internal ability to analyze evidence and filter it through lived experiences and personal beliefs. Students must be able to consider evidence that weakens their own claim and find a way to respond. In order for an argument to have credibility, it must paint a complete picture and address major counterarguments.]]> 2018-05-08 23:43:37 UTC https://padlet.com/ingridlynt/6e1vaq0sf9u6/wish/259113158 ingridlynt https://padlet.com/ingridlynt/6e1vaq0sf9u6/wish/259115066 Research has shown that motion stimulates learning, increases engagement, and improves retention.]]> 2018-05-08 23:57:22 UTC https://padlet.com/ingridlynt/6e1vaq0sf9u6/wish/259115066 ingridlynt https://padlet.com/ingridlynt/6e1vaq0sf9u6/wish/259115887 Written argument comes from  internal conversations. External conversations help model this structure for students. Giving rebuttals, stating counterclaims, and offering supporting details are skills high school students already use effectively in everyday spoken communication. Conducting a structured conversation allows students to build complex and nuanced arguments while receiving constant feedback through group practice. ]]> 2018-05-09 00:04:00 UTC https://padlet.com/ingridlynt/6e1vaq0sf9u6/wish/259115887 ingridlynt https://padlet.com/ingridlynt/6e1vaq0sf9u6/wish/259117334  https://youtu.be/TOr7kJ0GDOc]]> 2018-05-09 00:15:36 UTC https://padlet.com/ingridlynt/6e1vaq0sf9u6/wish/259117334 ingridlynt https://padlet.com/ingridlynt/6e1vaq0sf9u6/wish/259120217 https://youtu.be/yeavJOoe-Wc]]> 2018-05-09 00:36:25 UTC https://padlet.com/ingridlynt/6e1vaq0sf9u6/wish/259120217 ingridlynt https://padlet.com/ingridlynt/6e1vaq0sf9u6/wish/259126454 Providing students with strong pieces of evidence during the early practice rounds ensures strong models for future practice.]]> 2018-05-09 01:15:25 UTC https://padlet.com/ingridlynt/6e1vaq0sf9u6/wish/259126454 ingridlynt https://padlet.com/ingridlynt/6e1vaq0sf9u6/wish/259126722 Initially, students may be more occupied with mastering the rules, format, and rhythm of these activities.

Strategies should be carefully designed to ensure access for an entire class population. Team groupings versus individuals, additional intervals of preparation time between rounds, written reflections, and alternative settings (such as online discussion board formatted activities) are options that the teacher should consider with the class in mind. ]]> 2018-05-09 02:02:45 UTC https://padlet.com/ingridlynt/6e1vaq0sf9u6/wish/259133345 ingridlynt https://padlet.com/ingridlynt/6e1vaq0sf9u6/wish/259135620 2018-05-09 02:16:21 UTC https://padlet.com/ingridlynt/6e1vaq0sf9u6/wish/259135620 ingridlynt https://padlet.com/ingridlynt/6e1vaq0sf9u6/wish/259135715 This is a great resource for debate topics and credible evidence

Not only will students get to hone their arguments through this process, but they will have the opportunity to self-govern the class discussion. Because the audience will be an authentic one made up of their peers, students will be intrinsically motivated to bring their best ideas to the table.]]> 2018-05-09 02:25:57 UTC https://padlet.com/ingridlynt/6e1vaq0sf9u6/wish/259137354
