Make a claim worth listening to
A confident sentence still needs a reason and evidence.
Take your time. Speak, draw or write your answers.
Here is what is happening.
Separate a claim, its evidence and the reasoning connecting them. Evidence should be relevant and traceable. An observation can support a narrow conclusion without proving a universal one. State uncertainty and consider an alternative explanation.
Pause. Make the idea your own.
Explain one idea to a partner, draw it or write it in your own words. Which part is an observation, an example or a question?
You can use a home language. No need to share personal experiences or finish everything in one sitting.Your little investigation
