What This Standard Means
What Students Need to Do
- Students check who made each source and compare accounts of a focused history question. They find where the accounts agree and disagree, then use evidence to answer the question.
What Mastery Looks Like
- A student can name one shared claim and one competing explanation in two historians' accounts. They can cite both accounts and a dated record, then explain what the record can and cannot settle.
Common Misconceptions
- Students may treat a difference in emphasis as a direct contradiction. They may call a source reliable because it matches their answer, or assume a tax chart proves what people believed.
How to Assess It
- Give students two short historian excerpts about the causes of the French Revolution and a labeled royal budget table. Ask for one agreement, one disagreement, and which claim the table supports, with a cited line from each excerpt.
Lesson moves
Ways to Teach It
Hand pairs two labeled historian excerpts and a royal budget table; have them sort printed claim strips into agree, disagree, or unsupported piles.
Ask: Did royal debt or bread prices better explain the uprising, and what evidence from each historian affects your answer?
Play evidence relay: teams match six cause cards to lines in two historian excerpts, then defend one shared and one disputed claim.
Show a government grocery price chart and two economists' comments on food costs; students highlight shared facts and differing explanations.
