Contrast the Evidence

Students re-read a case microtext with contradictory evidence, identify the piece that pulls the other way, and rewrite it using a contrast connector so the reader can see the conflict without being told what it means.

Grammar target

Flag evidence that pulls the other way using a contrast connector: but, however, although, even though.

Essential question

Which piece of evidence does NOT agree with the rest — and how do I flag it honestly?

Objective

Students can identify one piece of evidence that contradicts the rest and connect it to the surrounding evidence with but, however, although, or even though.
