Your challenge
- Teacher preparation: select an age-appropriate, approved resource from the collections below. Use an individual story and its historical context.
- Students identify the person's experience, a supported detail, and the source's limits. Use reading and discussion, not role-play.
- Respond: What do we learn about this person? What should we still ask? Keep the response grounded in the selected source.

Supporting detail and source
I wonder: a question the source leaves open.
Teacher notes & alignment
Look for an accurate detail, a clear connection, and a limit when the task asks for one. Ask students to revise after specific feedback.
Read aloud, enlarge the evidence, rehearse in a home language, and offer pointing or drawing when it preserves the content goal. Assess the selected English language domain separately.
Representative skill connections: Grade 2, Grade 4, Grade 8, and U.S. History Since 1877. Match the exact grade and course before teaching.
- K–2 · §113.13(c)(15)(A), (D)
- Grades 3–5 · §113.15(c)(19)(B), (G)
- Grades 6–8 · §113.20(c)(29)(E)–(F)
- Grades 9–12 · §113.41(d)(28)(A), (F)
Current ELPS: K–3 uses §120.20; Grades 4–12 use §120.21. Grade 3 keeps the K–3 codes even in the 3–5 band.
ELPS §120.20(d)(2)(E), (4)(F) · §120.21(d)(2)(E), (4)(F)
Describe and explain with a partner; write with supporting details when writing is the target.
These are selected skill connections, not a complete course curriculum. Practice scenarios rehearse the skill; historical investigations need authentic, course-appropriate sources.
