Poisoned Picnic

Students examined data from a picnic that turned deadly. They need to develop a claim about what may have caused the sickness and deaths, then support it with evidence.

Question 1

Essay

Claim: In one sentence, tell me exactly what you think caused people to become ill. (Name the pathogen that caused them to sicken or die and tell me where it came from)

Evidence: Describe three facts or pieces of evidence that support your claim. (Use the info about victims, what they were doing, what they ate etc.)

Reasoning: Explain why these facts support your claim. How do you know it was this thing that caused the outbreak and not something else?
