01

What Students Need to Do

Students research a social studies question using sources they can trust. They write explanations or arguments with a clear thesis, organized reasons, and cited evidence. They paraphrase accurately and write for a chosen audience.

02

What Mastery Looks Like

A student can support a claim with evidence from more than one source and respond to an opposing view. They can quote or paraphrase without copying, cite their sources, and adjust their wording for a report or public comment.

03

Common Misconceptions

Students may mistake a topic, such as Oklahoma statehood, for a thesis. They may change only a few words from a source, drop in a quote without explaining it, or name a website instead of citing the source.

04

How to Assess It

Give students two labeled excerpts about Oklahoma statehood. Ask them to write four sentences: a claim, two cited paraphrases, and a response to an opposing claim.

1. 01

   Give pairs two short accounts of Oklahoma statehood to cut into claim and evidence strips, then sort and build a cited paragraph.

2. 02

   Ask, 'Who benefited from Oklahoma statehood, and who did not?' Have students write a claim, an opposing claim, and a reply using the accounts.

3. 03

   Run a citation relay: teams turn three source cards into a quote, a paraphrase, and a citation, then check for copied wording.

4. 04

   Print a city council agenda and a local news report; students write a 100-word public comment citing one fact from each.
