What Students Need to Do

Students read written sources and study maps, charts, images, and other media. They check who made each source and when, then use details from more than one source to support a conclusion.

02

What Mastery Looks Like

A student can make a claim using a quoted phrase and a specific detail from a map or image. They explain how each source's creator, date, or purpose affects what it can tell us.

03

Common Misconceptions

Students may treat a photograph as a complete record of an event or assume an older source is always more reliable. They may cite a source's title instead of pointing to evidence within it.

04

How to Assess It

Show an excerpt from Frederick Douglass's 1852 Fourth of July speech and an 1860 census map of slavery. Ask: What does each reveal about slavery, and what does each leave out? Cite a phrase and a mapped detail, and consider who made each source and when.

1. 01

   Give pairs a printed Douglass speech excerpt and a slavery map; have them circle evidence and label each source's creator and date.

2. 02

   Ask, 'Why might a census map and Douglass's speech tell different parts of slavery's story?' Require one detail from each.

3. 03

   Set out newspaper, map, cartoon, and chart cards; teams match claims to evidence and reject one unsupported claim.

4. 04

   Print a city budget summary and spending chart; students check the publisher and year, then defend a claim about spending priorities.
