Information
Description
What It Is:
This is a graphic organizer worksheet designed to help students structure their writing using the Claim, Evidence, Reasoning method. The worksheet includes a space to write a claim, three boxes labeled 'My first Reason,' 'My second Reason,' and 'My third Reason' each connected to the claim box with an arrow and the word 'because'. Next to each reason box, there's a box to provide evidence, labeled with prompts like 'One example is... Evidence from text,' 'Another example is... Evidence from text,' and 'A third example is... Evidence from text.'
Grade Level Suitability:
This worksheet is suitable for grades 4-8. The concept of claim, evidence, and reasoning is introduced in the upper elementary grades and reinforced in middle school. The worksheet's structure provides support for students learning to organize their thoughts in a logical manner.
Why Use It:
This worksheet helps students develop critical thinking and writing skills. It encourages them to make a clear claim, support it with relevant reasons, and provide evidence from texts or other sources. It promotes logical reasoning and strengthens argumentative writing abilities.
How to Use It:
First, have the student identify the main claim or argument they want to make and write it in the 'My Claim' box. Then, they should brainstorm three reasons to support their claim and write each reason in the corresponding box. For each reason, they need to find evidence (e.g., from a text) that supports that reason and write it in the box labeled 'Evidence from text.'
Target Users:
This worksheet is ideal for students in grades 4-8 who are learning about argumentative writing, persuasive writing, or how to support their claims with evidence. It's also helpful for students who need support in organizing their thoughts and ideas before writing.
