This app is a great supplement to the work George Hillocks presents in Teaching Argument Writing Grades 6-12. This app is created by the same author that gave us Queenie in Slip or Trip.

How I Use It

After adapting and using the ideas from George Hillocks' book Teaching Argument Writing Grades 6-12 on listing and warranting evidence, I let students practice their evidence identification skills by solving some of the crimes presented on the app. They make a list of the evidence they find and write warrants connecting the evidence to the question presented. They then draw conclusions from the evidence & warrants. This app is an extension to Hillocks' work and offers students practice in a different format. This practice then transitions to finding evidence to support a claim/thesis when writing argument or analysis papers.
