Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills for Social Studies

Teacher's field guide

What Students Need to Do: Students use pictures, labels, captions, maps, and charts to share information. They explain what a source shows by using its words, symbols, and details.
What Mastery Looks Like: A student can make a clear poster, map, or chart with a title and labels. The student can answer questions about another source and point to evidence.
Common Misconceptions: Students may treat pictures as decoration instead of information. They may ignore titles, labels, captions, or keys and guess from one image.
How to Assess It: Show a picture graph of favorite fruits. Ask students to name the most popular fruit, explain their evidence, and write a caption for the graph.

Lesson moves

Have students sort classroom objects, build a sticky-note picture graph, and add a title and labels.
Display a playground sign and ask students to write what it tells visitors and which details helped them decide.
Play a matching game with map, chart, poster, and sign cards paired with statements each source supports.
Read the school lunch menu, circle Friday’s meal, then draw and label a lunch tray showing that meal.
