State Archive Card - 8.5x11-inch laminated routine card carried by each child. Front: Wineburg 4-question routine adapted for G4 - (1) WHO MADE THIS SOURCE? When and where? (SOURCING); (2) WHAT WAS HAPPENING WHEN THIS SOURCE WAS MADE? What did the maker know - and not know? (CONTEXTUALIZATION); (3) DOES THIS SOURCE AGREE OR DISAGREE WITH OTHER SOURCES we have read? (CORROBORATION); (4) WHAT EXACTLY DOES THIS SOURCE SAY? What does it not say? (CLOSE READING). Back: the NMAI FIFTH MOVE - 'WHOSE VOICE IS SILENT in this source? Whose perspective is missing? What kind of source would we need to hear that voice?' + the trauma-informed reminder - 'You can choose to set this source aside. Sources about hard chapters are heavy. We carry them carefully.' Style: matte laminated card, dyslexic-font 14pt option.

rubric
All 5 questions answered AND silent-voice correctly identified as Indigenous-nation voice (Yurok / Chumash / Indigenous nation along the coast Cabrillo traveled) AND a specific way to hear that voice named (cultural-office statement, oral history)
Hints
  1. Question 5 is the most important here - Cabrillo writes from European-explorer perspective; whose voice is missing?
  2. If you needed to hear the Indigenous voice on this contact event, where would you turn?
Misconceptions to watch
  • Failing to identify the silent voice
  • Treating the log as 'neutral history' without sourcing
  • Missing the contextualization (Cabrillo was on a Spanish-funded exploration voyage seeking gold)
