OPVL: Evaluating Sources
When using a source, it is important to determine its reliability and validity. In other words, is the source believable? Is the data current and reliable, or too outdated? Is it biased, and therefore, unreliable? This resource will help students learn how to evaluate each source based on its origin, purpose, value, and limitation (OPVL). A chart that may be used as a poster or handout, along with an OPVL template is included.

Citing Sources
Do your students have difficulty giving credit where credit is due? When they do try to cite their sources, does it sound contrived?

With the push for students to write in argumentative mode and use text evidence, this is a critical skill to teach even in the elementary grades.

Biographical Expository Essay Project
In an effort to improve my student's historical references in their expository essays, I have them do this historical research project.
