Supporting a claim means adding reasons, examples, or facts that explain and strengthen the main idea clearly.
A claim is the main idea or opinion, while supporting details are the reasons or evidence that explain and justify that idea.
Students can use facts, examples, real-life experiences, or simple explanations to make their claims stronger.
