Free chart literacy teacher resource
Free Question vs. Evidence Check
Help students decide whether the chart contains the evidence needed for the question.
A one-page check for separating the question, chart evidence, missing information, and careful conclusion.
Classroom use
Use it as a small routine inside the chart work you already teach.
This resource is connected to the Teaching Guide, but it is intentionally compact enough for planning, discussion, assessment review, or a next-day classroom move.
- compare the question with the chart evidence
- identify missing information
- practice careful "we cannot tell" conclusions
- avoid unsupported causal claims
- turn uncertainty into a next evidence question
