Use the skills in a new task

All records below are original fiction. June 10, Nori at the north table: “I saw three paper boats at noon.” June 12, club card: “Decision: display paper boats on the shelf. Present: Nori and Val.” June 11, Val at the south table: “I saw two paper boats at noon.” Order the records, compare the two observations, make one supported claim, and name one question left open.

Work on paper or in your own document. Explain the choices you made.

  • Order June 10, 11, and 12 correctly.
  • Keep the two observation locations separate.
  • State a claim with its source and date.
  • Name an unanswered question without guessing its answer.
Compare with a model response

June 10 north-table observation comes first, June 11 south-table observation second, and June 12 decision card third. Three and two concern different tables on different days, so they need not disagree. The June 12 card records a decision to display boats on the shelf. It does not say whether Val agreed or whether the display was actually made.

A different response can also meet the criteria. Compare the evidence and reasoning, rather than copying the wording.
