What This Standard Means
What Students Need to Do
- Students find facts in photos, diagrams, maps, captions, and sentences. They explain which facts are shared and which appear in only one place.
What Mastery Looks Like
- A student names one detail shared by the visual and the words. The student also identifies a detail found only in the visual or only in the words.
Common Misconceptions
- Students may assume the picture and words always give exactly the same facts. They may describe colors or objects without connecting those details to the topic.
How to Assess It
- Show one page about frogs with a labeled photo and two sentences. Ask, “What fact is in both, and what fact appears in only one place?”
