Oklahoma Social Studies 3.P.2.2

3.P.2.2 is a cluster heading. These are the individual standards under it.

• 3.P.2.2.A

  Explain the difference between a primary and secondary source of information; gather basic information (i.e., author, date, facts).

• 3.P.2.2.B

  Define point of view and give examples relevant to the student’s experiences.

• 3.P.2.2.C

  Generate possible reasons for an event and draw conclusions from simple timelines by identifying immediate cause and effect relationships.

01

What Students Need to Do

Students tell firsthand records from later accounts. They find who made each source, when it was made, and what facts it gives. They describe different views of an event and use a timeline to explain what caused an event and what happened next.

02

What Mastery Looks Like

Given a moon landing photo and a later account, a student labels each source and records its creator, date, and a fact. They explain how an astronaut and a child watching on TV might describe the event differently. They use a timeline to explain how landing made the first step on the Moon possible.

03

Common Misconceptions

Students may call any old-looking picture a firsthand source, even if it was made years later. They may think point of view means someone is right or wrong. They may assume the event listed just before another on a timeline caused it.

04

How to Assess It

Show a 1969 NASA photo of an astronaut on the Moon and a dated article written years later. Ask students to label each source, record who made it and when, and write one fact they found.

1. 01

   Give pairs a dated moon landing photo and a later article; have them label source type, creator, date, and one fact.

2. 02

   Write two sentences about rainy recess, one from a student hoping to play soccer and one from a student tending class plants.

3. 03

   Shuffle cards for launch, landing, first step, and return; partners order them and explain how landing led to the first step.

4. 04

   Compare a photo from a school event with a newsletter recap, noting who made each and how each tells the story.
