What This Standard Means
What Students Need to Do
- Students examine maps, images, charts, videos, and spoken accounts for details that support a claim. They explain what each source shows and what it cannot prove.
What Mastery Looks Like
- A student can make a claim about an event using details from two different sources. They can explain why those details support the claim and point out a gap in the evidence.
Common Misconceptions
- Students may treat a photo of one family as proof of what happened to everyone. They may read a political cartoon as a literal scene or assume two trends on a chart have the same cause.
How to Assess It
- Show a 1930s Oklahoma dust storm photo and a Dust Bowl migration map. Ask: “What do these sources suggest about why some Oklahomans left, and where did they go? Cite one detail from each source and name one limit.”
Lesson moves
Ways to Teach It
Give pairs a printed dust storm photo and migration map; have them mark two details on each before writing a claim.
Play a short Dust Bowl oral history clip and ask: “What does this account tell us that a migration map cannot?”
Give teams a 1930s farm photo and a political cartoon; award a point for each claim tied to a visible detail.
Display a current Oklahoma drought map and a local reservoir chart; have students write one supported claim about water supply.
