Teacher's field guide

What Students Need to Do: Students use at least two sources to answer a research question. They choose useful facts, put them in their own words, and share what they found in a presentation or product.
What Mastery Looks Like: A student can make a short slide deck or poster that uses facts from both sources to answer the question. They can show where each fact came from.
Common Misconceptions: Students may copy sentences instead of summarizing them. They may list facts from each source separately without showing what the sources tell them together.
How to Assess It: Give students a short paragraph and a labeled map of an Oklahoma landmark. Ask them to write two sentences about what they learned and label which source supports each fact.

Lesson moves

Give pairs an article and a labeled map of a local landmark, then have them make a three-panel poster using both.
Show a photo caption and a short article, then ask: What does each source add to our answer?
Play a fact-sort game: students match fact cards to two printed sources, then write one summary sentence using both.
Have students make a visitor guide for a local museum using its website and a city tourism page.
