Reading Closely to Make Arguments

Lesson Summary

In this lesson, students and teacher will analyze two images to discover how reasons and details can be used to build arguments. Rather than analyzing text for evidence, students will attend to the details of a discussion-worthy photo and will respond to a prompt. Teacher will model and students will participate in large and small group collaboration. Finally, students will practice constructing a statement of the message of the photo (claim), a reason for making the claim, and details from the photo that support the reason (evidence).
