01

What Students Need to Do

Students ask a question about a historical event and break it into smaller questions they can research. They check the limits of each source, compare expert accounts, and defend an answer using evidence.

02

What Mastery Looks Like

Given a bread-price chart, tax records, and two historians' accounts, a student can explain where the accounts agree and differ. They cite evidence, spot a weak claim, and revise their answer if new evidence challenges it.

03

Common Misconceptions

Students may assume that if two historians disagree, one must be wrong. They may treat a bread-price chart as proof that food costs alone caused the French Revolution, without considering other causes.

04

How to Assess It

Give students a bread-price chart, a tax record, and two brief historian excerpts. Ask: "Which cause of the French Revolution is best supported? Name one disagreement and one limit of your evidence."

1. 01

   Give pairs a bread-price chart, tax record, and grievance excerpt; have them sort the sources by which claim each supports.

2. 02

   Read two short historians' accounts of 1789; write where they agree, where they differ, and what evidence each uses.

3. 03

   In pairs, trade claim cards about the Revolution; earn a point for each source-based challenge to a weak claim.

4. 04

   Compare a local news report with a city budget chart about a proposed tax; identify claims each source can and cannot support.
