What This Standard Means

What Students Need to Do

Students use at least two sources about the same social studies topic. They choose useful facts, put the main findings in their own words, and share them in a poster, slide, or short talk.

What Mastery Looks Like

A student makes a poster about colonial school life using facts from a diary and a museum article. The facts are accurate, grouped by idea, and linked to the right source.

Common Misconceptions

Students may copy sentences instead of summarizing. They may list two sources but take every fact from only one. They may add a detail that neither source supports.

How to Assess It

Give students a short diary excerpt and a museum paragraph about colonial schooling. Ask for a three-sentence exhibit label with one fact from each source, written in their own words, and both source names.

Ways to Teach It

  1. Give pairs a diary excerpt and a museum article about colonial schools, then have them make a four-panel poster with source labels.

  2. Ask, 'What do both accounts tell us about colonial school, and what does only one tell us?' Have students write two sentences.

  3. Give teams fact cards from the diary and museum article; have them sort the cards by source and build a 30-second report.

  4. Have students make a visitor card for a local landmark using a city history page and a library history page, with facts from both.
