8.H.1.4

8.H.1.4 Use historical inquiry to evaluate the validity of sources used to construct historical narratives (e.g. formulate historical questions, gather data from a variety of sources, evaluate and interpret data and support interpretations with historical evidence). || ===‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍**Literacy Standard(s):**=== 6. Determine an author’s point of view or purpose in a text and analyze how the author acknowledges and responds to conflicting evidence or viewpoints. 8. Delineate and evaluate the argument and specific claims in a text, assessing whether the reasoning is sound and the evidence is relevant and sufficient; recognize when irrelevant evidence is introduced. 9. Analyze a case in which two or more texts provide conflicting information on the same topic and identify where the texts disagree on matters of fact or interpretation. || 8.SI.1.3 Evaluate resources for point of view, bias, values, or intent of information. || ===‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍**Revised Bloom's Level of Thinking:**=== Understanding, Analying, Evaluating || ===‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍**Learning Target/Task Analysis:**=== The student will know: The student will be able to:
 * ===Clarifying Objective===
 * ===‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍**Information Technology Standard:**===
 * Historical inquiry is the research or investigation of past events.
 * A set of criteria for determining whether or not a source is valid.
 * Use a set of criteria to judge the extent to which a source of information is valid or not.
 * Formulate historical questions.
 * Gather data from a variety of sources (both primary and secondary).
 * Interpret data.
 * Support interpretations with historical evidence.

‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍**I can...**
I can use set criteria (rules) to judge the validity (correctness) of source information.

‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍**Essential Vocabulary**
Historical Thinking, Historical Narratives, Historical Inquiry, Historical Context & Decision-making

‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍**Differentiation:**
Provide students with a valid and invalid source. In dyads have students judge the correctness based on set criteria - “Questions for Analyzing Primary Sources”

‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍**Intervention:**
Assign a learning buddy and have the pair choose one primary source and one secondary source to critique. Debrief the activity with the instructor.

‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍**Enrichment:**
//Have students develop their own criteria for validity of primary and secondary resources. Then presented to the class. Allow other students to use the student made criteria to check for its validity. // ===‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍**Instructional Resources**===
