  • My advice would be to just give it a shot. I think we have students think about and evaluate claims all the time. Claim testing specifically is giving a new name and understanding to something we already do. Introduce the vocabulary (intuition, logic, authority, and evidence) and keep visual reminders in place. Start with something everyday like sports teams before moving into content examples.
