After listening to "Interview with an Organic Farmer," class members identify the claim the farmer makes in his interview. They use lined paper to create a four-square organizer for relevant evidence, sufficient evidence, irrelevant evidence, and sound reasoning. They then listen to the interview again and take notes on their organizers.
