What This Standard Means

What Students Need to Do

Students explain why people living through the same event may see it differently. They connect jobs, health, power, and available information, then compare how those factors work in past and recent events.

What Mastery Looks Like

Given short accounts from 1918 and 2020, students identify two viewpoints in each. They use details from the accounts to explain how pay, health risks, and trust in officials work together.

Common Misconceptions

Students may treat a viewpoint as just a personal opinion or assume everyone in one group agrees. They may judge people in 1918 using what we know now, or name one cause without connecting it to another.

How to Assess It

Exit ticket: A 1918 shop owner opposes closing her store, while a 2020 grocery worker supports closing his workplace. Explain how pay and health risks might shape each view.

Lesson moves

Ways to Teach It

  1. Give pairs role cards for a 1918 shop owner and a 2020 grocery worker; they arrange pay, health, and rules cards into cause maps.

  2. Ask: Why might a 1918 shop owner and a doctor disagree about closing stores when both worry about illness?

  3. Play perspective match: students pair four short outbreak scenario cards with two factor cards each, then explain one pairing to a partner.

  4. Show a current school phone ban notice; students list how safety, learning, and family needs could shape different reactions.
