Class Experience

This workshop will introduce and teach students the CERCA format which will help them with writing essays and paragraphs. The format is used in many schools and is as follows:

C - Claim
E - Evidence
R - Reasoning
C - Counterargument
A - Audience

I will explain each component, model with an example prompt, have students practice their own, and review how to use this structure when writing paragraphs and essays. 

Each session is scheduled as such:

First session - Explain each component of the CERCA and model with an example prompt. No homework for this session since it is introductory.
Second session - Have students practice their own CERCA during class and assign a homework CERCA for feedback.
Third session - Go over feedback and first CERCA's, and prepare for final writing prompt.
Fourth session - Review all key goals, write final writing prompt.
Learning Goals
Students will learn how to structure a paragraph no matter what subject (this format works for English, History, Social Sciences, etc).

Profile
Teacher expertise and credentials
I am an AP Social Science Teacher at a Title I high school in the Bay Area in California. Due to a majority of my students being ELL's, SPED, or on IEP's, I have extensive experience working with learners with all types of needs. Since I am a humanities teacher, I also have strong, effective models of teaching writing (like CERCA).
