Beyond the Paragraph: Teaching Writing in Middle School with Structure

THIS is The Secret Ingredient for Better Writing Across All Subjects Ep. 13

27 Jul 2025

Description

In this episode, I’m diving into why CER (Claim, Evidence, Reasoning) is the ultimate pivot skill. It’s not just for ELA. Students can use it in science, history, short responses, and full essays—and the more they practice it, the more confident and structured their writing becomes.You’ll hear how I scaffold it with sentence frames, expand it with an “Explain in your own words” step, and enrich it with a hook and a powerful closing statement.  No matter your experience with CER, you’ll walk away with tools to make it more effective, more transferable, and way more engaging.  🎧 Let’s talk about how to teach CER… and why it might be the most important writing move you make all year. Need CER resources?
