This document provides an evaluation checklist for assessing an evidence-based claim. It instructs the evaluator to use three different colored highlighters to mark attribution, citations, and reasoning in the text. The checklist evaluates aspects such as appropriate formatting with double spacing, Times New Roman font, headers, and parenthetical citations. It also provides a rating scale from 1-5 to assess the strength of evidence, reasoning, use of rhetorical devices, and addressing counter-arguments while maintaining the original claim.
