CROWN

CROWN is an argumentation tool. It supports students to communicate plans for, and critical evaluation of, designed solutions that meet present or future needs.

The CROWN strategy supports teachers by structuring discussions around prototypes that students have designed and tested. It encourages students to reflect and use evidence-based claims and reasoning to explain the results of their prototype tests. It prompts them to think of changes they might make to their design and why they would make those changes. It can be used with students from Foundation to Year 6.
