01

What Students Need to Do

Students read accounts of the same event and check who made each one, when, and why. They use details from words, images, and speech to compare claims and explain what the evidence supports.

02

What Mastery Looks Like

A student can explain why two accounts differ without assuming one must be false. They cite a line or image detail, name its source, and explain how the author's viewpoint may shape the claim.

03

Common Misconceptions

Students may treat a firsthand account as automatically accurate or assume a source with a viewpoint is useless. They may quote a sentence without explaining what it proves, or read a photograph without checking its date and caption.

04

How to Assess It

Hand out a 1921 Tulsa newspaper excerpt and a current Oklahoma Historical Society summary. Ask: “Where do their descriptions differ? Quote one line from each and explain why the dates of the sources might matter.”

1. 01

   Give pairs a 1921 Tulsa newspaper report and a dated photograph; have them circle source details and mark one claim each source supports.

2. 02

   Read a 1921 Tulsa report aloud; partners ask whose view is missing, then answer with a quoted line and a follow-up question.

3. 03

   Play evidence match: pairs connect four claims about the Tulsa Race Massacre to quoted lines from two accounts, then discard one unsupported claim.

4. 04

   Show a two-minute city council meeting clip beside its posted minutes; students identify one point and check how the minutes describe it.
