C-E-R Writing Review Worksheet (Claim, Evidence, Reasoning)

Are you implementing a C-E-R (claim, evidence, reasoning) writing framework in your class? Want to make sure that your students know the framework forwards and back? This double-sided review worksheet will show you quickly which students are still struggling with identifying claims, evidence, and reasoning--whether they're online or in person!

Students will identify all parts of the framework, match claims to appropriate evidence, and brainstorm real-life situations in which claims, evidence, and reasoning can be utilized.

On the first page, students will use highlighters to identify the claims, evidence, and reasoning in four different passages. These passages are on a variety of topics, so students can see C-E-R's wide range of applicability.

On the second page, students will match claims with their evidence. Then, they will brainstorm three real-life scenarios in which being able to argue and support that argument would be beneficial.

If you're just introducing the concept of C-E-R to your students, this worksheet makes for a great overview of the concept. If your students know--or should know!--all about the framework, but need a refresher, this works great for that as well.
