Statement 2 is a claim because it presents an opinion or a belief. Statement 3 is a reason because it provides a justification or explanation for the claim. Statement 1 is evidence because it supports the reason with a study that suggests a correlation between earning an allowance and spending money more carefully.
The paragraph should begin with Statement 2 as the claim, followed by Statement 3 as the reason, and then end with Statement 1 as the evidence. This structure allows the paragraph to present the claim first, provide the reason for it, and then support the reason with evidence.
Use the sentences to complete the activity.
Statement 1: A study suggested that children who earned an allowance spent their money more carefully than those who did not.
Statement 2: Children should receive an allowance for chores done at home.
Statement 3: With an allowance, children learn about earning money and the value of money.
In 3-5 sentences, explain which statement is a claim, which is a reason, and which is evidence and in which order the statements should appear in the paragraph.
