How it works
Students choose or receive a prompt, jot keywords, give a 45-second CLEAR response to a partner, receive a follow-up question and a suggestion, repeat the improved version and then write. The guide includes differentiation for support, challenge and English language learners, and notes support for CCSS W.4.1, W.5.1, SL.4.1 and SL.5.1.

Hi, I'm Jerin Parker. I'm a debate and public speaking coach with almost ten years of teaching experience. Through competition, I earned the National Forensic League Quadruple Ruby, and I competed in debate and public speaking through high school and university in the TFA, UIL and NFL systems. I now coach World Scholar's Cup and SPAR debate. My ClaimLore resources use the Steelman Method: students argue the other side's case before making their own, so they learn to reason, listen, and speak with confidence.
