Answer criteria
type
two part constructed
rubric
Define corroborate (= check one source against others) + connect to Native history (= often the Native voice is missing, so corroboration brings it in)
Hints
- Look at the 4-question anchor card.
- When one source disagrees with another, what do we do?
Misconceptions to watch
- Children may define as 'agreeing' - clarify that corroboration sometimes shows DISAGREEMENT and that's still useful.
