Claim Court at Supreme Court of the United States

Opinion Writing Adventure Pack

Inside the grand marble halls of the Supreme Court of the United States, written arguments are losing their power. Claims are unclear. Reasons are scattered. Evidence is missing. Without strong opinions backed by proof, important decisions cannot move forward. Ari Raider has detected a disruption in the argument system, and the balance of clear communication is at risk.

In Claim Court at Supreme Court of the United States, students board the Argument Express and enter a high-stakes writing mission. To restore order, explorers must craft clear opinions, support them with strong reasons and evidence, and respond thoughtfully to counterclaims. By organizing their ideas and writing with a specific audience in mind, students bring clarity and structure back to persuasive communication.

This adventure blends opinion writing skills with structure, reasoning, and purposeful expression.
