Claim Check Board
Check each claim in a notice against six source cards. Select a claim, read the highlighted cards, then place it in a bin.

Where does it belong?
Six source cards
Cards marked “Relevant” speak to the selected claim. Open any card to read it.
No source is not the same as a source that disagrees. A source can mention a topic and still leave evidence missing.

One way to sort the claims
Compare the reasons with your choices. Your classifications stay on the board.

- Read claim 2 and find source B together. Explain why the claim is contradicted.
- Check claim 5. A session record does not establish who attended.
- Ask for a hands-up vote on claim 4, then reveal the prepared check.
Pairs · 15 minutes
- Pick a claim and find the source that speaks to it.
- Choose a bin. Write one sentence on paper naming your source and reason.
- Compare with a neighbor. Name the extra evidence needed to settle missing claims.
No devices: Print or read the notice and six cards. Write S, M or C beside each claim with a source letter. Vote by hands.
Debrief: Which claims were hardest to place? When is “no evidence” the honest answer? What should the library add to its notice?
Check your reasoning: Name one claim with missing evidence and one contradicted by a source. Explain the difference.
Prompt to reuse
For each claim, find the sources that speak to it. Decide: Supported, Missing evidence (the available sources do not establish the claim), or Contradicted (a source says something different). Write the reason in one sentence naming the source.
