What This Standard Means
What Students Need to Do
- Students examine maps, charts, images, audio clips, videos, and clickable maps. They draw a conclusion, cite details from the sources, and explain how those details support their claim.
What Mastery Looks Like
- Given a map and a short interview clip, a student makes a claim using a specific map feature and the speaker’s words. They explain how each detail supports the claim and what the sources cannot prove.
Common Misconceptions
- Students may treat a political cartoon’s opinion as a fact or assume a darker map color means a larger total rather than a higher rate. They may describe a chart without explaining how its details support their claim.
How to Assess It
- Display a two-bar chart labeled “Library visits: before Saturday hours, 100; after, 150.” Read aloud, “We added Saturday hours in May,” then ask: “Did the new hours cause the rise? Use both sources and name one thing you still need to know.”

Ways to Teach It
Give pairs a printed flood map and rainfall chart; have them mark two details and write a claim about affected neighborhoods.
Play a one-minute town council clip; ask, “Which claim do the speaker’s words support, and what information is missing?”
Set out four political cartoons and four caption cards; students match each pair and circle a visual clue that supports their choice.
Use a city bus map and online timetable to choose a route from downtown to the library; cite the route and arrival time.
