What This Standard Means
What Students Need to Do
- Students write about a social studies topic. They introduce it, use facts and examples from sources, and put their ideas in an order a reader can follow.
What Mastery Looks Like
- A student can write a paragraph that names the topic, explains two relevant facts, and ends with a closing sentence. Each fact supports the topic rather than adding unrelated information.
Common Misconceptions
- Students may treat a guess about a photograph as a fact. They may list facts without explaining how those facts connect to the topic.
How to Assess It
- Give students a captioned photo and two fact cards about a local landmark. Ask for a four-sentence paragraph with an opening, two supported details, and a closing.

Ways to Teach It
Give students a captioned landmark photo and fact cards; have them arrange the facts, then draft an opening and closing around them.
Show an old street photo and ask, 'What can we tell from this photo, and what are we only guessing?'
Give pairs mixed-up sentences about a town's first school; have them sort the opening, supporting facts, and closing.
Have students write a label for a school hallway display about a local landmark, using facts from a map and captioned photo.
