What This Standard Means
What Students Need to Do
- Students listen to a speaker’s claim and note the evidence offered. They decide whether the evidence supports the claim, then ask a question that builds on what the speaker said.
What Mastery Looks Like
- A student can restate a classmate’s point accurately and name the map detail or source the classmate used. They can spot a gap in the support and ask a focused follow-up question before giving their own view.
Common Misconceptions
- Students may plan a rebuttal while a classmate speaks, then misstate the classmate’s point. They may treat an opinion as evidence or ask a question the speaker already answered.
How to Assess It
- In pairs, have one student make a 30-second claim about a migration map using one map detail. The listener writes the claim and cited detail, notes whether the detail supports the claim, and asks one follow-up question.

Ways to Teach It
Give pairs a migration map; one student explains a route while the listener marks the claim, map evidence, and a question with sticky notes.
Ask, 'Why might people leave this region?' Have students use a population map, then ask a classmate what map detail supports their answer.
Play Claim or Evidence: read a short speech about a proposed dam, then have teams sort its statements and ask one follow-up question.
Play a one-minute city council meeting clip; students identify the speaker’s proposal, check its support, and write one question for public comment.
