Not only did I learn evidence-warrant claim better, I learned to use primary source documents for inquiry."“It was great to see and experience the process of activities done with us that are done with students. I feel like I can make immediate additions to my curriculum due to the way the instructors modeled the technique.”“Actually taking evidence and incorporating the concept of warrants taught me to help students make specific claims.
