Critical Thinking & Problem Solving Content Expertise H1.9-10.2 H4.11-12.1 H1.9-10.1 H2.11-12.1 H4.9-10.1 Submission Required

Using photographs, room details, object labels, newspaper excerpts, and short secondary summaries tied to the MAC’s 1903 house, students practice sourcing and corroboration. The class models how authorship, purpose, audience, and historical context affect credibility, then students rate sample sources in an evidence log and explain which details make a source strong or limited for claims about continuity and change.
