Identifying Reasons Behind a Speaker's PointsProcedural concept
Check understanding
- Listen to a speaker's argument or presentation and list the specific reasons and evidence provided to support each main point
- Evaluate whether the reasons a speaker gives are logical and whether the evidence cited is relevant to the claim being made
- Ask follow-up questions that probe the strength of a speaker's reasoning, e.g. 'What evidence supports that claim?' or 'Are there other explanations?'
“When your child listens to someone making an argument or giving reasons for something, can they tell you whether the reasons given actually support what the person is claiming?”
