CER
CER stands for Claim, Evidence, Reasoning. These are the three essential elements for explaining history.

Write a claim to answer the question.
Provide evidence to support the claim.
Describe the reasoning to connect your evidence to the claim.
This strategy is very similar to ACE, which stands for Answer, Cite, Explain.

I created a Pinterest board with plenty of ideas and inspiration to help you get started. This is how I found all of the different fonts that I use, and icons as well. If you aren't sure how to draw something out, feel free to Google it. The Noun Project is also an excellent place to go to find icons.
