The Alchemist Argument Evidence Answer Key will help you support your students throughout the unit.

It is important to encourage students to recognize that even if they don't know the perfect answer yet, they are going to learn a lot throughout the unit and have an opportunity to change or add to their first argument.

Students will gather evidence after each Mystery to help them revise their argument at the end of the unit. In the activity, they write an argument supporting the alchemist's claim about why the gargoyles change over time that they most agree with. The anchor phenomenon for this unit is the process of stone gargoyles changing over time. Before starting this lesson, review the unit Teacher Guide for an overview of the Anchor Layer.
