What This Standard Means
What Students Need to Do
- Students read reliable sources and historian accounts to answer a focused history question. They find where the accounts agree and disagree, then check those claims against the evidence.
What Mastery Looks Like
- A student can name a shared claim and a real disagreement between two historians. They can cite a dated event or map detail to explain which account the evidence supports.
Common Misconceptions
- Students may treat different wording as a factual disagreement. They may assume the assassination of Franz Ferdinand explains the whole war without checking alliances or later decisions.
How to Assess It
- Give students two short historian excerpts about the July Crisis and a three-event timeline. Ask for one agreement, one disagreement, and one timeline detail that supports either account.
Lesson moves
Ways to Teach It
Give pairs two historian excerpts and a 1914 alliance map; have them color-code shared claims and conflicting explanations.
Ask students to write: Did alliances or nationalism better explain why war began? Use one detail from each historian.
Play Claim Match: teams pair July Crisis timeline events with historian claims, then sort the claims into agreement and disagreement piles.
Compare two news articles quoting economists on one inflation report; mark shared figures and where the experts give different reasons for price changes.
