What Students Need to Do

Students summarize and paraphrase sources in their own words. They write informative pieces with a thesis and arguments with a clear claim and opposing view. They cite and explain evidence from several sources in writing or presentations.

02

What Mastery Looks Like

A student states a focused thesis or claim and puts ideas in a logical order. They paraphrase accurately, cite each source, and explain how the evidence supports their point. In an argument, they distinguish their claim from an opposing view.

03

Common Misconceptions

Students may change a few words from a source and call it a paraphrase. They may add a quote without explaining what it proves. Some list a website instead of citing the author or title of the source they used.

04

How to Assess It

Give students labeled excerpts from the 1789 rights declaration and de Gouges's 1791 declaration. Ask for a five-sentence paragraph with a claim, two cited paraphrases, an explanation of one source, and a response to an opposing view.

1. 01

   Print excerpts from the two rights declarations; pairs sort prepared quote, paraphrase, and unsupported claim cards, then add missing citations.

2. 02

   Ask: Did the French Revolution's promise of equality include women? Use both declarations and address one opposing view.

3. 03

   Run a citation relay: teams build a paragraph from two labeled source cards, with a claim, two cited facts, and a counterclaim.

4. 04

   Use city council minutes and a local news article to write a cited, 100-word briefing on one recent vote.
