Florida B.E.S.T. ELA.2.C.4

ELA.2.C.4 is a B.E.S.T. standard. These are the benchmarks under it.

• ELA.2.C.4.1

  Participate in research to gather information to answer a question about a single topic using multiple sources.

01

What Students Need to Do

Students work with others to gather facts about one topic. They use provided sources, choose details that answer a question, and record what they learn.

02

What Mastery Looks Like

Students use a book, article, image, or other provided source to find relevant facts. They record information in their own words and explain how it answers the research question.

03

Common Misconceptions

Students may copy whole sentences instead of selecting useful facts. They may choose interesting details that do not answer the question or treat personal guesses as evidence.

04

How to Assess It

Give students a short animal fact sheet and ask, “How does this animal protect itself?” Have them write one fact that answers the question.

1. 01

   Set up three source stations about one animal, then have pairs collect one fact from each source on sticky notes.

2. 02

   Ask, “Which fact best answers our question, and why?” Have students defend their choice using information from the source.

3. 03

   Play Fact Finder Bingo, with question cards students match to facts found in short books, captions, and classroom posters.

4. 04

   Research the week’s weather forecast, then have students use two facts to recommend clothing for an upcoming class activity.
