8th Grade Sources, Data and Research Skills Worksheets

Ages 13-14 · 6 sub-topics · Free previews · Print-ready PDFs

History skills are the habits historians use to read sources, judge evidence and build research notes. There are 15 worksheets for 8th grade here, each with an answer key, on political cartoons, close reading, fact and opinion, chronology, source types, research and quotations. Trumbull's Declaration Painting and the Record, Hiram Revels Research Organizer and Frederick Douglass's 1852 Independence Day Speech are three of the sheets. Native sheets practice C3 codes such as D2.His.9.6-8, D2.His.10.6-8 and D2.His.13.6-8.
