• 4.P.4.1.B

01

What Students Need to Do

Students summarize and paraphrase information from social studies sources, combine useful facts, and name their sources. They write organized explanations and supported opinions for reports and presentations.

02

What Mastery Looks Like

A student introduces a topic, groups related facts, and names the source of each fact. They can restate information without copying it. When giving an opinion, they explain how the facts support their choice.

03

Common Misconceptions

Students may copy a sentence and call it a summary, or name a source without showing which fact came from it. They may give an opinion with no evidence, or include facts that do not support their point.

04

How to Assess It

Hand out a park map and a four-sentence amenities card. Ask students to write a three-sentence visitor blurb that paraphrases two facts, names both sources, and recommends a park feature with a reason.

1. 01

   Give pairs a local park map, amenities list, and fact strips; have them sort facts by topic and label each source.

2. 02

   Ask, 'Which park feature would you recommend to a visiting family?' Have students write a choice supported by two facts from the amenities list.

3. 03

   Play Source Match: display three paraphrased park facts; students identify the map or amenities list detail that supports each one.

4. 04

   Use the city parks webpage and map to make a one-page visitor guide for families, naming the source beside each borrowed fact.
