What This Cluster Means
What Students Need to Do
- Read a firsthand account and a later explanation, then put each main idea in their own words. Use details from both texts and a map or image to draw a conclusion. Keep source facts separate from what they already know or think.
What Mastery Looks Like
- A student summarizes each source without copying it and points to details that support the summary. They explain what an eyewitness might have missed and use a map or image to check or add to the written account.
Common Misconceptions
- Students may copy a sentence and call it a paraphrase. They may treat an eyewitness account as the whole story, ignore the map, or put a guess into a factual summary.
How to Assess It
- Give students a short Titanic survivor account, a textbook paragraph, and an Atlantic route map. Ask: “What happened? Cite one detail from each text, explain what the map adds, and label any guess as a guess.”

Ways to Teach It
Give pairs a Titanic survivor account, a textbook paragraph, and an Atlantic route map; have them highlight shared facts and trace the route.
Ask partners, “What could the survivor see that the textbook writer could not, and what might the survivor have missed?” Require a cited detail.
Play Evidence Sort with slips containing paraphrases, direct quotes, and guesses about the sinking; students sort them and match facts to sources.
Give students a printed bus timetable and route map; have them plan a trip using one cited time and one map detail.
