Description
This remote learning ready, interactive google slides lesson teaches students to complete a claim-evidence-reasoning diagram (CER). Student choice and self-selected differentiation are featured throughout. The order of activities is listed below.
1. Students are provided with a digital classroom space with a bookshelf full of clickable useful tools that can help them with the reading tasks in this assignment. (You can insert your bitmoji onto this slide if you wish.) Tools include: google translate, rewordify, which will change high-level vocabulary to more simple forms, natural readers, which will read text aloud to students AND can change text font to a font that is more dyslexia friendly, an article about how to increase reading skills, and a science dictionary.
2. Students learn the differences between a claim, evidence, and reasoning.
3. Students practice with a simple CER, looking at a picture.
4. Students practice constructing reasoning (the most difficult part of a CER) by examining two true but silly scientific experiments. The C and E portions of these CERs are complete, and they have to fill in the R´s.
5. Students complete a CER table by filling in which evidence and reasoning from a set of choices support each of 4 claims. There are two levels of CER table available to students. They can choose to complete the simpler or more complex version. (For easier grading for the teacher, both tables end up with the same letter answers.)
6. Students choose one of three articles (easier, medium, or harder) to read and complete a CER on.
7. Students find and define 5 vocabulary words from their chosen article
8. Students write a 100 word summary on their article. (This task may be deleted from the assignment if you wish to make the assignment shorter)
9. Students complete a CER for their chosen article.
