As a table group, sort the statement cards as to whether they are evidence statements, or opinion statements.

Two cards are headers for the categories Evidence and Opinion. The remaining 20 cards have statements on them.

In your group, select one opinion statement from the cards and turn it into an evidence statement.

Individually, take one additional opinion statement and flip it into an evidence statement.

Discuss new evidences with your group.
