01

What Students Need to Do

Students ask a broad question about an issue people have faced in different places and times. They break it into smaller questions and check maps, data, and accounts before answering. They consider other views and question their own assumptions.

02

What Mastery Looks Like

A student asks who uses a town's water and why, then uses a chart and two accounts to answer. They write a short recommendation that cites evidence, addresses another view, and names a fact they still need.

03

Common Misconceptions

Students may treat a personal opinion or one person's quote as proof. They may assume the group using the most water is wasting it. They may dismiss a conflicting account without checking who made it and why.

04

How to Assess It

Show this data: homes use 20% of town water, and farms use 60%. Ask, 'Should the town ban lawn watering?' Require one claim backed by the data, one missing fact, and one other viewpoint.

1. 01

   Give pairs a water-use chart, drought map, and two resident quotes; have them sort cards into evidence, claims, and unanswered questions.

2. 02

   Ask, 'Should farms or homes cut water use first?' Have students cite the chart and challenge one assumption in a partner's answer.

3. 03

   Play evidence match: teams pair three water policy claims with source cards, then earn a point for naming a claim the sources cannot support.

4. 04

   Use a local water bill or city conservation notice to draft a three-sentence recommendation for a town meeting, with one question for officials.
