Claim, Evidence, and Explanation (CEE) is a way to organize your writing and thinking. A claim is your main argument or point. Evidence is the information you use to support your claim, like facts, examples, or data. Explanation is where you show how the evidence proves your claim and why it matters. Think of it like this: you make an argument (claim), you back it up with proof (evidence), and then you explain why that proof works (explanation).
