Original Prompt

I am having my students read a short memoir and over the course of four days they will be writing a short paper. I have not decided if I want it to be argumentative analysis or comparative paper yet but they will need to use textural evidence can you make a CER chart or something along line to that

This learning resource focuses on developing students' analytical skills through the study of memoirs. The objective is to equip students with the ability to analyze a memoir, construct a thesis-driven paper, and support their arguments with strong textual evidence. The resource outlines a structured plan over four days, where students will identify central ideas, construct a thesis using the Claim-Evidence-Reasoning (CER) framework, select and integrate textual evidence, and refine their final paper. Additionally, it provides a variety of strategies for annotation, tools for crafting strong analytical claims, and templates for developing their writing. The content emphasizes the importance of textual analysis, author’s craft, and clear reasoning in literary analysis.
