Information
Description
What It Is:
This is an educational poster or worksheet explaining the CER (Claim, Evidence, Reasoning) writing framework. It visually breaks down each component: Claim (a bold statement answering the question), Evidence (experimental data and research supporting the claim), and Reasoning (explaining how the evidence supports the claim). Each element is paired with a visual aid, such as glasses for 'Claim', a book for 'Evidence', and a brain for 'Reasoning'. The worksheet references CCSS.ELA-Literacy.W.7.1.A, which focuses on introducing claims and organizing evidence logically.
Grade Level Suitability:
This worksheet is suitable for grades 6-8, particularly 7th grade, given the CCSS standard mentioned. The concepts of claim, evidence, and reasoning are fundamental to argumentative writing and are typically introduced and reinforced in middle school. The visual aids and clear definitions make it accessible for this age group.
Why Use It:
This resource helps students understand and apply the CER writing framework, which is essential for developing strong argumentative and analytical writing skills. It promotes critical thinking by encouraging students to support their claims with evidence and explain their reasoning. The visual aids enhance comprehension and retention.
How to Use It:
Use this worksheet as a visual aid during lessons on argumentative writing or scientific explanations. Display it in the classroom as a reference for students when they are crafting claims, gathering evidence, and explaining their reasoning. Teachers can use it as a guide to explain each element of the CER framework, prompting students to identify claims, evidence, and reasoning in example texts.
Target Users:
The target users are middle school students (grades 6-8) learning about argumentative writing, scientific explanations, or any subject requiring them to support their claims with evidence. Teachers of English Language Arts, science, or other subjects that require analytical writing will also find this worksheet beneficial.
