Integrate quantitative or technical analysis (e.g., charts, research data) with qualitative analysis in print or digital text. b. Analyze information presented in a variety of maps, graphic organizers, tables, and charts; and in a variety of visual sources such as artifacts, photographs, political cartoons. c.

1-3 R.8, NSH 3.E SSP .7 Evaluating Reasoning and Evidence a. Distinguish among fact, opinion, and reasoned judgment in a primary or secondary source document. b. Distinguish between unsupported claims and informed hypotheses grounded in social studies evidence. 2-3 2-3 R.9, R.7 SSP .8 Analyzing Relationships between T exts a. Compare treatments of the same social studies topic in various primary and secondary sources, noting discrepancies between and among the 2-3 R.1, W.1, W.2, W.4, W.5, L.1, L.2, L.4 SSP .9 Writing Analytic Response to Source T exts 3 a. Produce writing that develops the idea(s), claim(s) and/or argument(s) thoroughly and logically, with well-chosen examples, facts, or details from primary and secondary source documents. b.

Interpret, use, and create graphs (e.g., scatterplot, line, bar, circle) including proper labeling.

Calculate the mean, median, mode, and range of a dataset. 1 1 The GED® Social Studies practices are derived from the Common Core State Standards for ELA and Literacy (R#) (L#) (2010), the Common Core State Standards for Mathematics (N#) (O#) (P#) (Q#) (RP#) (S-ID#) (S-MD#) (S-SP#) (2010), NCSS National Curriculum Standards for Social Studies: A Framework for Teaching, Learning, and Assessment (NCSS Literacy Skills) (2010), and National Standards for History Revised Edition (NSH#) (1996). 2 The Depth of Knowledge (DOK) levels correspond with Norman Webb’s (University of Wisconsin) Depth of Knowledge model of cognitive complexity. 3 The Extended Response writing task will require test-takers to apply a range of Social Studies Practices; however, the practices under SSP .9 will be of primary importance in the writing task, and these practices will only be assessed through the writing task.
