- Providing reasoning for why the evidence supports the claim (Toulmin's backing)
- Considering counter-arguments
- Making a conclusion

Accomplishments:

Looked deeply into a project that includes the Showing Evidence Tool to get ideas on project design, implementation, teacher-learner dialogue, and assessment
Set up a project online that integrates the use of the Showing Evidence Tool
