Refugee Support Evidence Brief and Outreach Letter
Each student creates an evidence brief with source notes, a claim, supporting evidence, a counterargument, and a rebuttal, then writes one polished outreach letter to a chosen public audience. The packet shows individual mastery of research, argument, and audience-aware writing.
