  1. An Introduction Engaging in Argument From Evidence

  2. Icebreaker Speed Dating…for science

  3. Icebreaker Speed Dating…for science • Partner up across your table • #1: 30 sec to discuss: The chicken came first. • #2: 30 sec to discuss: The egg came first.

  4. Icebreaker Speed Dating…for science • MINGLE MINGLE! • SWAP positions • #2: 30 sec to discuss: The chicken came first. • #1: 30 sec to discuss: The egg came first.

  5. Engaging in Argument From Evidence • Focus Question: • How does creating a space for Argumentation From Evidence affect your ability to make an informed decision about the mystery bird?

  6. Mystery Bird Spotted! 1/8/14: • “Birding today in the Bay Area, I saw a lone hawk that I didn’t immediately recognize. It was large in size, with a hooked beak, but not so large as to be an eagle. It soared it circles for a long time, with its wings outstretched, very seldom flapping. I saw it from below and it was very dark underneath, but with some lighter shading in parts of the wings and in the tail. I could only see dark and light coloration, I couldn’t make out any other color. Can somebody please help me identify this?”

  7. Possible Birds Zone Tailed Hawk RedTailed Hawk Rough Legged Hawk Swainson’s Hawk

  8. Evidence Groups • Each table group will be given a set of evidence to examine. • Based upon that evidence, groups will have to decide and make an argument for which of the four birds they believe was sighted. • After 15 minutes, we will rearrange into jigsaw groups so we can share our arguments with other evidence groups.

  9. Evidence Collection Leave room at the bottom for evidence that doesn't’t fit neatly into just one box

  10. Jigsaw Groups • Re-arrange yourselves so that all 3 evidence groups are represented at each table. • Share the evidence you gathered & make an argument about the bird you think it is. • You may bring evidence with you if you would like • TISS coach will act as recorder on big stickies for your group.

  11. Sentence Starters for Engaging in Argument From Evidence : • I agree with…and would like to add that… • I disagree with …because…. • I don’t understand your idea. Can you tell me more about…? • What do you think about this idea, …? • I have a question for …? • I think ….is ….because…. (i.e. I think the bird is  red-tailed hawk because…)

  12. SPOT Transparency

  13. SPOT Transparency • FOSS/content link: “mystery object” lessons: • We used mystery birds because it was something we all had experienced together • We tried to adapt the lesson to create more room for argument to happen at multiple points

  14. SPOT Transparency • The Goal of an argument can be simply shifting opinion based on others’ ideas & evidence • Sharing your argument with a group is a way to share your evidence • By limiting access to certain pieces of evidence, we all had a real reason to develop different arguments

  15. SPOT Transparency • The Process of an argument should involve structure(s) to allow students to respectfully listen and respond to others’ ideas & evidence • The evidence collection tool (square) allowed everyone to both hear and see each others evidence • It also allowed everyone in the group to reference others’ evidence later on.

  16. Engaging in Argument From Evidence • Focus Question Re-visit: • How does creating a space for Argumentation From Evidence affect your ability to make an informed decision about the mystery bird?
