Teacher's field guide

What Students Need to Do: Students gather information from sources such as maps, charts, and letters. They organize what they find into a presentation or product that shows different people’s views.
What Mastery Looks Like: A student can make a short slide deck about a park proposal using a site map, a cost chart, and residents’ letters. They label each source and explain where residents disagree.
Common Misconceptions: Students may think using two source types automatically shows two viewpoints. They may list facts from letters without saying whose view each letter represents.
How to Assess It: Give students a park site map, a cost chart, and two opposing resident quotes. Ask for a two-slide outline that uses two source types and names both views.

Lesson moves

Put a site map, a cost chart, and two opposing resident letters on cards; groups arrange them into a labeled evidence board.
Read two letters about a proposed park and ask, "Which concern does each writer raise, and what evidence supports it?"
Give teams four mixed source cards and a blank slide template; award a point for each correctly labeled viewpoint and source type.
Have students draft a town council briefing on a park proposal using a site map, a cost chart, and two resident letters.
