Claim or Evidence

Students read a series of statements and label each as either a claim or a piece of evidence. The worksheet mixes opinion-based assertions with factual findings, compelling students to distinguish between argumentative ideas and research-supported information. This activity builds a foundational understanding of how arguments are structured. It also encourages students to think critically about whether a sentence presents reasoning or proof. By practicing with clear examples, learners become more skilled at analyzing and constructing persuasive arguments.
