What Students Need to Do

Students create organized essays and presentations about social studies questions. They summarize, paraphrase, and cite evidence from more than one source. In an argument, they make a precise claim and distinguish it from an opposing claim.

02

What Mastery Looks Like

A student states a focused thesis and groups related evidence in an informative essay. In an argument, they name an opposing claim and explain why evidence supports their own. Their paraphrases keep the source's meaning, and readers can trace borrowed facts to citations.

03

Common Misconceptions

Students may swap a few words from a source and call it a paraphrase. They may cite direct quotes but leave paraphrased facts uncited. Some list facts without explaining how they support a claim, or misrepresent the opposing view.

04

How to Assess It

Provide two short, labeled excerpts on whether New Deal programs helped workers. Ask students to write a paragraph with a claim, an opposing view, two paraphrased facts, and citations to both excerpts.

1. 01

   Give pairs two short suffrage speeches; have them highlight competing claims, cut out evidence, and build a cited paragraph from the strips.

2. 02

   Post 'New Deal programs created public jobs' and 'New Deal job programs were worth their cost'; ask which needs a counterclaim and why.

3. 03

   Run a paraphrase swap: students rewrite a source sentence about voting rights, trade drafts, flag copied phrases, and add a citation.

4. 04

   Use a city budget table and library hours page to write a cited letter to the council arguing for longer library hours.
