Parts of an Explanation

  • CLAIM- a statement of your understanding. 
  • EVIDENCE- sufficient, appropriate, and interpreted. 
  • REASONING- the bridge that connects them.

The Explanation Tool

This thing NEEDS to be adapted for every other subject

Iteration

Why Iterate?

  • Because you're not perfect.
  • Because you can always develop more.
  • Because meaningful learning requires it.
  • Because this stuff is HARD!
