01

What Students Need to Do

Students read firsthand accounts and later explanations, and inspect images or charts. They check who made each source, when, and where its information came from. They combine details from sources to make a claim and support it with specific evidence.

02

What Mastery Looks Like

A student can compare a diary entry, textbook passage, and chart about the same event. They cite exact words and chart values to support a claim. They explain why the sources differ and revise their claim when new evidence warrants it.

03

Common Misconceptions

Students may treat a political cartoon as a neutral report or assume an eyewitness account is always accurate. They may cite a source title instead of a passage or chart value. Some list facts from two sources without explaining how those facts support one claim.

04

How to Assess It

Give students a 1917 U.S. Army recruitment poster and a textbook paragraph on World War I recruitment. Ask them to write a claim, cite one detail from each source, and explain how the poster's creator affects their conclusion.

1. 01

   Give pairs a recruitment poster, textbook excerpt, and colored pencils; have them mark evidence in blue and clues about each source in red.

2. 02

   Ask students to write: Which source better explains why people enlisted, and how do its creator and date affect your judgment?

3. 03

   Play evidence sort with four source cards, a diary entry, textbook excerpt, chart, and cartoon; students match each to claims and defend choices.

4. 04

   Compare a city council budget chart with a local news story; students cite one figure and one sentence to assess a spending claim.
