What educators are saying

This was such a time saver and my students enjoyed all of the material as well. It has made my life so much easier when it comes to planning and implementing CERs in th curriculum. I thought it was a great value too.

— April M.

Rated 5 out of 5

I like that students were asked to explain their reasoning. Many students struggle with this and I try to fit opportunities for CER in whenever I can.

Description

Do group behaviors in animals increase the survival rates of individual organisms? Students will work in teams to research and create an informative poster for one of the following animal behaviors: flocking, schooling, herding, cooperative hunting, migrating, or swarming. Students share posters in a gallery walk and complete a jigsaw chart summarizing their findings. Finally, students complete a scaffolded CER (Claim-Evidence-Reasoning) to practice engaging in argument from evidence.
