 * Claim:** An explanation or interpretation of some aspect of the art-work or topic.
 * Support:** Things you see, feel, and know that support your claim.
 * Question:** What’s left hanging? What isn’t explained? What new reasons does your claim raise?
 * WHY?** To help students develop thoughtful interpretations of an artwork or topic by encouraging them to reason with evidence.


 * WHEN?** Use //Claim / Support / Question// with works of art and with topics in the curriculum that invite explanation or are open to interpretation.


 * HOW? **Model the routine for the whole class, then work in small groups or individually. Take turns using the routine so that each member of the group makes a claim, identifies sup-port and asks a question. Following each person’s report, take a moment as a group to discuss the artwork or topic in relation to the claim before moving on to the next person. After everyone has had a turn, reflect on the activity. Ask students to discuss what new thoughts they have about the artwork or topic.
