Oklahoma Social Studies USH.P.3.1

USH.P.3.1 is a cluster heading. These are the individual standards under it.

• USH.P.3.1.A

  Cite specific textual evidence to support analysis of primary and secondary sources, evaluating features such as author, date, and origin of information.

• USH.P.3.1.B

01

What Students Need to Do

Students read accounts and inspect images, maps, or charts to learn about a historical question. They check who made each source, when, and where its information came from. They use exact words and visual details to support a conclusion.

02

What Mastery Looks Like

A student can explain where two sources agree or conflict and what each source can show. They cite a line from a text and a detail from a visual, then explain how both support their claim.

03

Common Misconceptions

Students may treat a political cartoon as a literal record or assume a textbook is accurate because it was written later. They may quote a source without explaining how its creator or date affects what it tells them.

04

How to Assess It

Give students a dated suffrage newspaper excerpt and political cartoon, both labeled with creator names. Ask them to make one claim using a quoted line and a cartoon detail, then explain how each source's origin affects its use as evidence.

1. 01

   Give pairs a 1917 suffrage newspaper excerpt, a political cartoon, and a textbook paragraph; have them mark claims and label each source's origin.

2. 02

   Ask: How does the newspaper account differ from the cartoon, and which detail from each supports your answer?

3. 03

   Run a source sort: students match claim cards to lines in the newspaper or details in the cartoon, then justify their matches.

4. 04

   Project a county election-results map and its source page; students check the date, labels, and publisher before writing one supported conclusion.
