How to be the GOAT at Evidence and Reasoning

I highly recommend you watch Nate Otey's video on evidence and reasoning.  His 'triangle' concept for teaching students how to link evidence and arguments is the missing link for my classroom lessons on claim testing and essay writing. It's a simple visual that helps students explain how their evidence proves the argument they are making. Best 8 minutes of PD I've watched this year! https://community.oerproject.com/events/oc-for-social-studies-2021/arguments-with-evidence/m/arguments-with-evidence/109

  •  I am thinking about showing this before we start Investigation 1 and refer back to it throughout the year to remind students of the overall CER writing process.  We moved to standards based grading a few years ago, and Claims, Evidence, and Reasoning are the power standards that we adopted for socials studies and is the main focus on how we assess students throughout the school year.
