Oklahoma Social Studies MWH.P.3.1

MWH.P.3.1 is a cluster heading. These are the individual standards under it.

• MWH.P.3.1.A

What Students Need to Do

Students read firsthand accounts and later histories. They check who made each source, when, and where its information came from. They use exact words and details from images to make a claim, then revise it if the sources disagree.

02

What Mastery Looks Like

A student can explain what a 1911 news report says about a factory fire and what its reporter may not have known. They support a claim about workplace safety with a quoted phrase, a detail from a labeled photograph, and a later historian's account.

03

Common Misconceptions

Students may assume a news report is accurate simply because it was written close to the event. They may treat a photograph as proof of what caused the fire, or name a source without citing the words that support their claim.

04

How to Assess It

Give students a dated 1911 newspaper excerpt and a labeled fire scene photo. Ask: What do these sources show about factory safety? Quote one phrase, name one visible detail, and explain one limit of either source.

1. 01

   Give pairs a 1911 fire report, a later history paragraph, and a fire scene photo; have them sort evidence onto claim and uncertainty sticky notes.

2. 02

   Ask: Why might a reporter writing on the day of the fire and a historian writing later disagree about factory safety?

3. 03

   Run a source-match relay: teams match four claims to exact lines in two short accounts and mark one claim the sources cannot prove.

4. 04

   Show the classroom fire exit map beside a 1911 factory fire escape photo; ask which safety risks each image can and cannot show.
