01

What Students Need to Do

Students pose a question about a past policy and break it into smaller questions. They check firsthand accounts, numbers, and historians' views. They present an answer, explain conflicting evidence, and name what remains unknown.

02

What Mastery Looks Like

A student can ask whether New Deal relief reached Americans fairly and explain what a WPA jobs chart leaves out. They compare two historians' explanations and revise their answer when a firsthand account challenges it.

03

Common Misconceptions

Students may treat one photo or interview as proof of what happened nationwide. They may assume disagreeing historians cannot both be credible, or overlook differences in the dates and groups their sources describe.

04

How to Assess It

For an exit ticket, give students two claims: "WPA job totals rose" and "My family received no help." Ask whether both can be true and what source would help explain the gap.

1. 01

   Give pairs a WPA jobs chart and a 1930s relief letter; have them mark what each shows and what it cannot show.

2. 02

   Read two short historian excerpts about New Deal relief; ask students to write one agreement and explain one disagreement using evidence.

3. 03

   Run a claim-match relay with a relief photo, WPA chart, and diary excerpt; teams match claims to supporting or challenging evidence.

4. 04

   Show a current FEMA aid eligibility sheet beside a 1930s relief program notice; ask who qualifies and who might be missed.
