Help me make lesson plans and slides to teach author's claim to 3rd graders.

This lesson plan revolves around helping students learn how to identify and analyze claims made by authors in various texts. By adopting a detective persona, students explore the difference between simple statements and arguable claims. They will engage in activities that involve examining evidence, differentiating between facts and opinions, and understanding the importance of claims in everyday contexts like advertisements and news articles. Through guided and independent practice, students will develop critical thinking skills that enable them to uncover and articulate the author's main arguments and supporting evidence, culminating in the ability to articulate their own claims effectively.
