Argumentation
and
CERs in Class
•
When? We use CER-based narratives
after completing a lesson.
•
Why? CER-based narratives allow you to
make connections between the lesson
and the lab. Also, learning how to write in
science is very important to your
education as a whole.
•
How? CER-based narratives are set up in
a paragraph form (usually 5-7 sentences
in length). There are times when it is
necessary to include a data table, graph,
or picture in with your evidence.

I have evidence that proves my Dad’s a space alien.
He speaks a weird language.
He drinks green stuff.
He says he’s from Albuquerque, I’m not buying it.
I mean, just look at him. (Walks by in weird clothes.)
And one more thing...He has a space ship.
The evidence doesn’t lie.
My dad’s an alien.

My dad is an alien.
Aliens speak a weird language, drink green stuff, wear
funny clothes, and they have spaceships.
My dad speaks a weird language, drinks green stuff,
wears funny clothes and, finally, he has a space ship,
like an alien.
Therefore, my dad is an alien.

My dad is an alien.
My dad speaks a weird language, like Aliens from
another planet might. He drinks green stuff and Aliens
have different diets from humans. He wears funny
clothes like those Aliens wear to protect them in space,
and he has a spaceship, like Aliens use to move
between worlds in space.
Therefore, the evidence doesn’t lie...my dad is an alien!

This student came to the teacher and felt the grade of a
62.5% D was incorrect and was not fair. The teacher pulled
up the grades (shown below). Form a CER Argument
defending your claim! Is the teacher or the student
correct and why?

Who burned Cheryl’s She Shed
Thor
burned down Cheryl’s She Shed
•
Thor is the God of Thunder
•
Thor seeks justice using violent acts
•
Thor has also been associated with “sacred groves and trees” (Wiki)
•
Lighting is what causes thunder, so Thor had to be involved as the God of
Thunder as a protector of sacred groves and trees, he likely disliked the
placement of the she shed, therefore he destroyed it with violence, in
the form of lighting to burn Cheryls She Shed.

Delve into the intriguing concept of "My Dad is a Space Alien" through scientific argumentation and explanation. The Claim-Evidence-Reasoning (CER) framework is applied to analyze evidence such as weird language, unique diet habits, and possession of a spaceship, supporting the claim that the dad is indeed an alien. The evaluation of this evidence leads to a compelling reasoning that pulls together the disparate clues, painting a convincing picture of extraterrestrial origins.
