Logic & Puzzles · Grade 6

Present, Defend and Reflect

Learners share research the way good presenters do. Following a fictional student's recycling project, they structure a short talk (claim first, evidence, a visual, a clear ask), design clear visuals with one idea per slide and a chart whose title states the finding, answer questions honestly, including “I don't know yet, and here's how I'd find out,” judge which of a speaker's claims are supported, and reflect on their research process. Speaking is optional and never scored.
