Claim, Evidence, Reasoning Breakdown

The video tutorial introduces the Claim, Evidence, and Reasoning (CER) process, explaining its importance in forming conclusions and making arguments across various subjects. It provides instructions for note-taking, details the components of CER, and offers examples, including a murder mystery scenario, to illustrate the process. The tutorial concludes by emphasizing the significance of CER in constructing convincing arguments.

What does CER stand for?

• Claim, Evidence, Result

• Conclusion, Evidence, Reasoning

• Claim, Explanation, Reasoning

• Claim, Evidence, Reasoning

In which subjects can the CER process be used?

• Only in social studies

• In science and math

• In science, language arts, and social studies

• Only in science

What is the claim in the CER process?

• The conclusion drawn from the reasoning

• The explanation of the evidence

• The answer to the question being investigated

• The data collected

What type of data can be used as evidence?

• Only qualitative data

• Only quantitative data

• Both qualitative and quantitative data

• Only theoretical data

What does 'sufficient evidence' mean?

• Having at least one piece of evidence

• Having evidence that fits the claim

• Having evidence from multiple sources

• Having enough evidence to support the claim

What should the reasoning part of a CER include?

• An explanation of how the evidence supports the claim

• A new hypothesis

• A restatement of the claim

• A summary of the evidence

How should a claim be written?

• As a restatement of the question in a complete sentence

• As a list of evidence

• As a hypothesis

• As a question

In the comparison of two CERs, what was the main difference?

• The claim

• The evidence

• The conclusion

• The reasoning

Why is it important to link evidence to the claim?

• To provide more data

• To make the argument more convincing

• To restate the claim

• To create a new hypothesis

What is the ultimate goal of using the CER process?

• To collect data

• To make a convincing argument

• To create a hypothesis

• To write a report
