What This Standard Means
What Students Need to Do
- Students compare a visual source with a written source about the same event. They use details from both to draw a conclusion, rather than describing each source separately.
What Mastery Looks Like
- A student points to a specific detail in the visual and a specific line in the text. They explain how both details support their conclusion.
Common Misconceptions
- Students may treat the picture as decoration and rely only on the text. They may misread a map key or assume a political cartoon shows exactly what happened.
How to Assess It
- Show a Dust Bowl farm photo and this text: “Drought destroyed crops, and families left farms to find work.” Ask students why a family might leave, using one detail from the photo and one from the text.

Ways to Teach It
Give pairs a Dust Bowl photo and a farmer's letter; they circle one clue in each and draw a line connecting the clues.
Show a Dust Bowl migration map and a newspaper report; ask, “Which map detail supports a claim in the report?”
Set out three photo and article pairs; students match each article claim to a visible detail and explain their choice.
Pair a current flood warning map with its written alert; students name one place at risk and cite a clue from each.
