Teaching and response guide

- Compare two records using their units.
- Explain or revise one claim using the supplied evidence.

Check the answer criteria for each task. A supported explanation may have more than one acceptable response. These activities offer evidence to discuss; completing a sheet alone does not establish mastery.
