A claim needs evidence and a link between them

Where we are on the map

Trace the four nodes of the support map with a finger and name the job of each one. Then hide it. Colours make the checking sequence visible; they do not stand in for evidence. If a node lacks information, leave it blank and explain why. These figures are invented practice data, not statistics from a real library.

A real-life scene

The group chooses a time to discuss the guide. Tuesday has the highest visitor count. Does that mean more free seats? You also need the room’s capacity and bookings.

Listen and respond

Listen: Менің тұжырымым: сейсенбіде келуші көп. — My claim is that Tuesday has more visitors.

Listen: Кестеде он сегіз адам көрсетілген. — The table shows eighteen people.

Listen: Бұл тек үш күннің салыстыруы. — This compares only three days.

Listen: Залда бос орын бар ма? — Are there free seats in the room?

Listen: Оны бұл кестеден біле алмаймыз. — This table cannot tell us that.

Listen: Алдымен орын санын тексерейік. — Let us check the seating capacity first.

How to practise

First listen with the transcript hidden and state the main point even if you miss some words. On a second pass write only anchor words and numbers; on a third, open the text and find one error in your initial prediction. Repeat the full Kazakh sentence at a natural pace rather than spelling it out. If a detail remains unclear, use the repair question from lesson 60 and ask a partner to repeat just that part.

The precise model

Build an argument as claim → evidence → why it supports the claim. Values 12, 18 and 15 support “Tuesday had the most visitors among these three days.” The same figures do not show an available room: they count visitors, not free seats. Name the extra record you need.

Support signal

ТҰЖЫРЫМ → ДӘЛЕЛ → БАЙЛАНЫС → ШЕК

Limit of the rule

Causation needs more than two values next to each other. Correct arithmetic does not tell you why visitors came on Tuesday.

Predict before the explanation

Before reading the model, write the conclusion you expect and what you can actually verify. Name one word or number that might change your answer. Compare your prediction with the evidence afterward; revising it is a sign of careful reading, not failure.

Recall without the support

Hide the text and diagram. Sketch four nodes in one minute, say two connected Kazakh sentences, and explain to a partner where the known information ends. Reopen the page, compare every detail and repair one imprecise word.

Find and repair the mistake

A learner says, “18 visitors, so the room is free.” Which missing premise is being smuggled in? Rewrite cautiously.

Transfer to a new scene

A partner claims rain brought more visitors. You only have attendance counts. Which weather records and period would you request?

Change to the My World project

My World 2.1 remains a fictional learning guide without personal data. For every conclusion keep the original message, the date you checked it, and what you still do not know. Add an argument card to the guide: claim, observation, inference and missing evidence. Leave unknowns open.

Exercise

Write two claims: one supported by the table and one needing new information. Name the source for each and state the limit in Kazakh.

Review after 1, 7 and 30 days

• Tomorrow listen to one line without text and recover its meaning and source.
• After seven days apply the same map to a new fictional notice or a fresh set of numbers.
• After thirty days explain your decision to someone else without the map and ask them to find an unsupported part.
