If I am Correct

Worksheet Description

The Articulating Implications worksheet is a pedagogical tool that encourages students to reflect on the consequences and meanings behind their stated positions on a topic. It begins by prompting them to clearly express their stance on the assigned question, establishing a basis for further exploration. The worksheet then challenges students to think through the ramifications of their position by considering what it implies and for whom, thereby encouraging them to consider the broader impact and significance of their views.

This worksheet is designed to teach students to think about the broader context and potential impact of their arguments. By articulating their position, students practice asserting their point of view clearly. The following section, which asks students to ponder the consequences if their position is correct, teaches them to analyze the effects of their arguments on different stakeholders. It helps students develop a forward-thinking approach to argumentation, considering not just the validity of their position, but also its implications for the wider world.
