What This Standard Means
What Students Need to Do
- Students look for patterns and points of view in maps, charts, images, videos, and interactive displays. They make a claim and use details from the sources to support it.
What Mastery Looks Like
- A student can compare a rainfall map with a monthly rainfall chart and explain which city was drier. They cite a detail from each source and say what the sources cannot show.
Common Misconceptions
- Students may ignore a map key or chart scale and misread the pattern. They may treat a political cartoon's message as fact or use a speaker's opinion as evidence.
How to Assess It
- Give students an annual rainfall map and a monthly rainfall chart for two cities. Ask which city was drier, with one detail from each source and one limit of the evidence.
Lesson moves
Ways to Teach It
Give pairs a printed rainfall map and chart; have them circle evidence in each and write a claim about which city was drier.
Play a 60-second flood news clip; ask, 'Which claim can you support, and what detail would you still need?'
Give teams a population map, line graph, and claim cards; award a point for each claim matched to evidence and explained.
Open a live traffic map for a familiar road; ask what one color suggests and why it cannot predict tomorrow's traffic.
