What Students Need to Do

Students summarize and paraphrase sources on a geographic issue without copying. They use evidence from multiple sources to write an organized explanation or argument, or present their findings, with citations. In an argument, they support a clear claim and address an opposing claim.

02

What Mastery Looks Like

A student can explain a water shortage using paraphrased evidence from two sources and cite both. They can state a precise claim, connect credible evidence to their reasons, and answer an opposing claim. Their paragraphs follow a clear order and use a formal tone.

03

Common Misconceptions

Students may change a few words in a source and call it a paraphrase. They may list facts without explaining how those facts support their claim. Some mention an opposing claim but never answer it.

04

How to Assess It

Give students two labeled excerpts about water restrictions. Ask for a four-sentence argument with a claim, paraphrased evidence from both sources, citations, and an answer to an opposing claim.

1. 01

   Give pairs printed source cards about water shortages and have them sort evidence under a claim and an opposing claim.

2. 02

   Ask students to write a thesis about water restrictions, then explain which of two sources supports it more strongly and why.

3. 03

   Run a citation relay: teams paraphrase a source card, add a citation, and check another team's work for copied wording.

4. 04

   Post a sample town water-use notice and rainfall chart, then have students write a public comment citing both and answering an objection.
