Common Core State Standards for English Language Arts · College and Career Readiness Anchor Standards for Speaking and Listening
What This Standard Means
Students need to take in information from more than one format, such as a chart, video clip, image, speech, podcast, or text. They must connect the pieces, notice what each format adds, and decide how useful or trustworthy the information is.
Mastery looks like a student saying, “The graph shows the trend, but the speaker explains why it happened,” and backing that up with details. Students often get stuck by treating every source as separate, copying facts without comparing them, or trusting a video or image without checking purpose, evidence, and source.
Ways to Teach It
- Hands-on: Give pairs a short article, photo, and simple graph on the same topic, then have them build a three-column comparison chart.
- Prompt: Which source taught you the most about the topic, and what did another format add or change?
- Quick assessment: Show a 60-second video and one related chart, then ask students to write two connected facts and one question.
- Real-world connection: Compare a weather app map, a forecast video, and a temperature table before deciding what to wear tomorrow.
