What This Standard Means

What Students Need to Do

Students use two or more sources to answer a question about the past or present. They find a useful detail in each source and explain how those details support their answer.

What Mastery Looks Like

A student can use a map to show where something happened and a timeline to show when it happened. Their answer includes a relevant detail from each source.

Common Misconceptions

Students may copy two facts without using them to answer the question. They may also expect a map to give a date or a timeline to show exactly where a place is.

How to Assess It

Give students a 1906 Oklahoma territory map and a statehood timeline. Ask, “What changed in Oklahoma in 1907? Use one detail from each source in your answer.”

Ways to Teach It

  1. Give pairs a 1906 territory map and a statehood timeline, then have them mark one useful clue on each with sticky notes.

  2. Ask, “What changed in Oklahoma in 1907?” Have partners explain what the map shows and what the timeline adds.

  3. Give teams a map, a timeline, and question cards about 1907; have them match each question to two useful source details.

  4. Show a local road map and a bus schedule; ask students to use both to plan a trip from school to the library.
