CER (CLAIM, EVIDENCE, REASONING)/CONCLUSIONS (see other page)

Here is an example of a pre-writing strategy to help you organize your thoughts (T-chart)

Claim:_________________________________________________________________________

Evidence Reasoning_______________________________________________

This helps you to list your evidence and directly ensure your reasoning makes sense, it also helps you be sure you are
connecting it to your claim. This is not required, and should not be in your final draft, but does help you to ensure you
are meeting requirements.
