C.E.R.C.C – ClaimE – EvidenceR – Reasoning C – Conclusion Assessment Writing This will be my way to determining what you have learned and your ability for application.
Claim When making a claim you need to make sure you: • Address the question directly. • Do so briefly and yet boldly • Think of this as a topic sentence that is targeted at the question
Evidence When writing, your opinion will not always be enough. Remember (evidence vs. speculation) • You need to provide: Examples, data, proven facts to make your claim and your essay valid. (Use your notes) • Otherwise it is just a blog post amongst millions
Reasoning For this element your task should be to remove all assumptions. • Walk your reader exactly where you want them to go. • Explain how your evidence and claim are connected and how they develop an answer to the major question.
Conclusion Reinforce you claim. • Once you have laid all the evidence on the table remind your reader of your main point • Leave the reader with the most important thing you want them to remember. • Making things neat and brief is often better than long wordy sentences.
