Enough? Does It Agree?
Judge whether information is relevant, adequate, and consistent.
Warm-up, learn, try it together, practice, then a quick check. About 15 minutes.
What children learn in Level 8
- You've found some information. Now test it with three questions. First: is it relevant? Relevant facts help answer your question.
- Second: is it adequate? That means enough. One letter from one family can't tell you about all immigrants.
- Third: is it consistent? Read across this table. The sources agree on the place, but not on the year.
- When sources disagree, don't just pick one. Check a third source you can trust, such as a museum or a library book.
