This standard asks you to read historical sources (like documents, photographs, or quotes) and analyze them to understand three big historical ideas: what caused something to happen, what stayed the same and what changed, and why an event matters. You'll need to compare what the sources say to each other and use specific evidence to back up your analysis.
What to do, grades and common mistakes
What you actually do
- ·Read and interpret multiple historical sources accurately, understanding both what they say and the context they come from
- ·Use specific evidence from the sources to support your analysis of historical concepts like cause and effect, continuity and change, and significance
- ·Compare and connect ideas across different sources rather than just describing each source separately
- ·Explicitly explain your reasoning and conclusions instead of just rewording or listing information from the sources
- ·Use a clear framework or organized approach (like significance criteria) to structure your analysis and show deeper thinking
AAchieved
You answer at least one part of the question with limited evidence from sources, and you refer to the sources individually without clearly connecting them.
