D2.His.17.3-5: Summarize a history writer's main claim.

Official text

Individually and with others, students… Summarize the central claim in a secondary work of history.

Not a focus of Third Grade's lessons, so no weeks are listed.

What it means for your child

This standard asks children to summarize the central claim in a history book or article. Third Grade's lessons do not focus on it.

Try it at home

1. Read a short history article and ask your child to tell its main point.
2. Ask, 'What does the author want you to believe about the past?'
3. Read a children's history book and summarize it in one sentence.
