This resource introduces students to the CER (Claim, Evidence, Reasoning) framework, designed to help them construct well-supported historical arguments. The learning objective emphasizes understanding and applying this framework to analyze historical contexts effectively. The document details how to formulate a claim, identify supportive evidence, and explain the relevance of that evidence to the claim. It includes examples of a complete and incomplete CER, highlighting the importance of specificity and historical context in argumentation. Additionally, a guided practice scenario is presented, allowing students to analyze the 'Great Society' programs of the 1960s, requiring them to state claims, provide evidence from given sources, and explain their reasoning based on the data provided.
