Students analyze short historical and current dress code excerpts, a mini timeline, and one simple school data chart to compare how rules, wording, and concerns shift over time. Working in pairs, they sort sources by time period, annotate language connected to inclusion or control, and identify one data-based need incoming sixth graders may have. Each student ends by writing a brief evidence-based claim card that will feed into Phase 2 research.
