Claim Evidence Reasoning- CER Response Rubric

Created by

MomentsofScience

This is the rubric I use to grade student generated CER responses. Students complete the CER using this graphic organizer. Every CER is graded using this rubric. I use CER to guide post-lab data analysis as well as a format for open-ended questions on tests. I adapted this rubric from several sources including Matthew d'Alessio's video on Youtube and the NSTA's CER Rubric. I prefer this format as it gives me a few key things to look for as I'm grading and makes the grading less subjective.

If you would rather the final product be a debate then you can easily change this document to reflect that.**Please note: I previously included articles to be used with th
