Evaluating and Embedding Evidence
This worksheet helps students evaluate the credibility of sources and use evidence effectively in persuasive writing. Using quotes from Yahoo Creek: An Australian Mystery, students rank sources, embed evidence in a PEEL paragraph and respond to opposing views. Reflection tasks develop critical thinking about trust, reliability and source quality.
