Take A Position
Take A Position
Students will test an initial stance on whether civil disobedience is morally justified by analyzing competing claims, tracing bias and perspective across cases, and drafting a one-page position supported by early evidence, warrants, and source leads they will investigate in later phases.
Days 7 - 16
Research And Sort
Research And Sort
Students will gather and evaluate a balanced set of primary and secondary sources, identify bias and omissions across accounts of civil disobedience, and organize evidence into supports, partly supports, and challenges so they can carry stronger claims and counterclaims into the next phase of argument building.
Days 17 - 26
Build Argument Map
Build Argument Map
Students will turn their collected evidence into a defensible historical argument by organizing claims and sub-claims, selecting the strongest supporting and challenging sources, writing clear warrants, and planning fair counterarguments and rebuttals. They will test their reasoning through structured discussion, peer critique, revision, and a phase-end argument map checkpoint that prepares them for full draft writing.
Days 27 - 36
Revise With Peers
Revise With Peers
Students will strengthen their historical argument essays through targeted mini-lessons, structured peer critique, revision cycles, and a polished draft checkpoint. They will improve warrants, source use, bias analysis, and counterargument quality while preparing to defend their position with clearer evidence and reasoning.
Days 37 - 45
Defend Public Position
Defend Public Position
Students will refine and defend their historical argument in a live public-defense format by rehearsing responses to counterarguments, strengthening warrants with evidence, presenting to an audience, and reflecting on how evidence and critique complicated or sharpened their position on civil disobedience.
Days 46 - 54
Showcase
Showcase
Students will finalize and publicly present their strongest evidence-based argument about civil disobedience, use source analysis and perspective notes to defend their claims before an authentic audience, respond to counterarguments with evidence and fair concessions, and reflect on how bias and multiple perspectives shaped their final understanding.
