Infer To explain or interpret the things you have observed based on reasoning and prior knowledge.

Glossary Inference: To explain or interpret what you

have observed based on reasoning and prior knowledge.

CLAIM: A statement that answers the original question.

EVIDENCE: Data and observations that support the claim. The data needs to be relevant to, and sufficiently support, the proposed claim.

REASONING: The reasoning provides a justification (why) that explains the link between the claim and evidence. The reasoning supports why the data counts as evidence to support the claim using appropriate logic.

Glossary Inference: To explain or interpret what you

have observed based on reasoning and prior knowledge.

Claim: A one sentence answer to the question being investigated.

Evidence: Measurement and observations that show trends, make comparisons to support the claim.

Reasoning: How or why the evidence supports the claim, a justification.

Unpacking the CER Paragraph

As a group:

1.  Highlight the claim, evidence and reasoning from each paragraph.

2. Rank the paragraph examples from most effective/complete (1) to least (4)

Unpacking the CER Paragraph

As a group: 1. Choose the CER paragraph that needs

the most “help.”

As an individual: 2. Re-write that CER paragraph so it has a

logical flow and the three components are present.

As partners: 1.  Exchange papers with someone at your

table. 2.  Read their paragraph. 3.  Highlight: Claim, Evidence, Reasoning 4.  Write “glow” & “grow” statements 5.  If anything is missing, state what is

missing and offer suggestions.
