What Students Need to Do

Students summarize and paraphrase sources, then combine cited evidence in essays, research reports, or presentations. They explain a topic with a thesis or argue a precise claim while addressing an opposing view. They organize their work to fit its purpose.

02

What Mastery Looks Like

A student explains why child labor laws changed, using paraphrased facts from two sources with citations. In an argument, the student states a specific claim, identifies an opposing claim, and supports the argument with credible evidence. The writing has a clear introduction, ordered paragraphs, and a conclusion.

03

Common Misconceptions

Students may change a few words from a source and call it a paraphrase, or leave citations off paraphrased facts. They may give a broad topic instead of a claim, list evidence without explaining it, or confuse an opposing claim with their own.

04

How to Assess It

Give students a Lewis Hine photo caption and a short factory inspector excerpt. Ask: “Should child labor laws have been strengthened? Write a claim, one paraphrased fact from each source with citations, and one opposing claim.”

1. 01

   Give pairs printed source excerpts and colored pens; have them highlight evidence, paraphrase one fact from each, and label each source.

2. 02

   Ask students to write two theses about child labor, one explanatory and one argumentative, then explain how their purposes differ.

3. 03

   Run a citation relay: teams match four evidence cards to source cards, then write a cited sentence for each match.

4. 04

   Compare a state labor department's teen work rules with a local job ad, then write a cited claim about whether the ad complies.
