Teacher Insights

  • A claim is an assertion of the truth of something (OSDE Glossary) and is arguable.

  • Textual evidence is what the writer uses to prove or support a statement.

  • A claim is substantiated when it is thoroughly supported with logical, reasonable, credible evidence.

  • A claim is unsubstantiated if it is lacking in evidence or its evidence is questionable.

  • When determining the credibility of claim, students should evaluate the evidence presented and how it was gathered.

Due to recursive nature of the standards, it is essential that teachers are aware of how all objectives within and between strands work together for optimal instruction.
