bickd May 12 @ 8:39 PM EDT

@kmgill135 #elngsschat the earlier you start using CER, the better students will do with it. encourage 2nd and 3rd grade Ts to use it too.

suzanlocke May 12 @ 8:39 PM EDT

Discourse is a precursor for students before writing. #elngsschat

@kmgill135 #elngsschat i start CER at third grade, first week of school. At first they need lots of support and modeling- now they dont.

Talking, listening, using evidence, adding on, disagreeing and agreeing all help students make meaning so they can write claims.#elngsschat

@LPugh3 @KRScienceLady #elngsschat Ss arent used to it.SS are used to finding right answer, not thinking on their own, have to be retrained.

@KRScienceLady #elngsschat time is a challenge- the lesson often takes the entire period, then i have to rush to get CER in or wait

czem - Moderator May 12 @ 8:51 PM EDT

Students' ideas, thinking and wonderings are important. Listen, leverage, and support them in the process of sense-making. #elngsschat

kmgill135 May 12 @ 8:51 PM EDT

Challenge: Finding evidence in reading means finding certain text. In science it means really looking at investigation results. #elngsschat
