Common Core State Standards for English Language Arts · College and Career Readiness Anchor Standards for Reading
What This Standard Means
Students need to make sense of information from more than one format, such as text, charts, photos, videos, maps, timelines, audio, or graphs. They should pull out key ideas, compare what each source adds, and decide how the formats work together or disagree.
Mastery looks like a student saying, “The article explains the cause, the graph shows the size of the change, and the photo shows the impact.” Students often get stuck by describing each source separately, trusting visuals without checking labels, or missing when a source leaves out important context.
Ways to Teach It
- Give students a short article, photo, and bar graph on the same topic, then have them sort evidence cards under each source.
- Ask students to write: Which source taught you the most, and what did another source add or challenge?
- Show one infographic and ask students to name three facts, one claim, and one question they still have.
- Use a weather report video, forecast map, and temperature table to decide what someone should wear tomorrow.
