What This Standard Means
What Students Need to Do
- Students gather information from text, pictures, charts, audio, and video. They combine details across formats and judge how clearly and accurately each source presents the topic.
What Mastery Looks Like
- Students pull relevant details from words, images, charts, audio, or video. They connect those details, notice agreement or conflict, and explain which format communicates an idea most clearly or reliably.
Common Misconceptions
- Students may treat pictures, graphs, or videos as decoration instead of sources of information. They may summarize each source separately, overlook conflicting details, or trust a polished source without checking its evidence.
How to Assess It
- Give students a short paragraph and a related bar graph. Ask them to state one conclusion supported by both, cite one detail from each, and name which format communicates the information better.

Ways to Teach It
Give groups a printed article, infographic, and photo, then have them sort evidence cards under the source that provides each detail.
Read a paragraph and watch a short clip, then write: What does each source add, and where do they agree or differ?
Play Media Match: students pair claim cards with supporting text, chart, image, or audio cards and explain each match.
Compare a weather map, forecast table, and written summary, then choose what to pack and support the choice with two details.
