  Construct presentations or products for a designated audience, using research and reasoning to enhance understanding of a topic or issue.

01

What Students Need to Do

Students choose an Oklahoma history question and write a claim they can defend. They check who made each source, then use credited quotes and summaries in writing for a chosen audience.

02

What Mastery Looks Like

A student can argue how Ada Lois Sipuel Fisher changed access to higher education, not just list events. They support the claim with evidence from two reliable sources. They quote exactly, paraphrase in their own words, credit both sources, and write for their audience.

03

Common Misconceptions

Students may write that Fisher went to court and mistake that fact for a claim. They may trust an unsourced timeline or change a few words from a source and call it a paraphrase. They may add a quote without explaining what it proves.

04

How to Assess It

Give students short excerpts from an Oklahoma Historical Society biography and a court ruling. Ask for one claim about Fisher, a cited quote, a cited paraphrase, and one sentence explaining how the evidence supports the claim.

1. 01

   Give pairs printed biography and court ruling excerpts about Fisher; have them highlight evidence for a claim and mark each source's author and date.

2. 02

   Ask students to write a claim about Fisher's impact, then explain which excerpt supports it best and why.

3. 03

   Run a citation sort: students match quote and paraphrase cards to source cards, then fix one paraphrase that lacks credit.

4. 04

   Have students write a 150-word hallway exhibit label about Fisher for other students, with a cited quote and paraphrase.
