What This Standard Means
What Students Need to Do
- Students explain a topic in writing using facts from at least two sources. They group related ideas into paragraphs and show which source supports each fact.
What Mastery Looks Like
- A student writes an introduction, focused paragraphs, and a conclusion about Silk Road trade. They use accurate details from two sources and cite each one where its facts appear.
Common Misconceptions
- Students may copy source wording without showing it is borrowed. They may list facts without explaining them, or name sources at the end without showing which source supports each fact.
How to Assess It
- Hand out a labeled Silk Road map and a short reading about traded goods. Ask students to explain how trade connected places in one paragraph, citing one detail from each source.

Ways to Teach It
Give pairs a Silk Road map and a short reading; have them sort fact slips into routes, goods, and effects, keeping source labels attached.
Ask, “How did Silk Road trade change daily life?” Have students write a topic sentence and support it with one cited detail from each source.
Play source match: read six trade facts aloud, and have students hold up the matching source label, then write a citation beside each fact.
Bring two grocery labels showing countries of origin; have students write where the items came from and cite each label.
