What This Standard Means
What Students Need to Do
- Students choose or share a topic, then find useful facts in books, digital materials, and conversations. They record and sort those facts with a chart, web, or other organizer.
What Mastery Looks Like
- Students find useful facts in two or more provided sources. They record the facts in words or pictures, group related details, and name where each fact came from.
Common Misconceptions
- Students may copy full sentences instead of recording short facts. They may include opinions or unrelated details. They may mix facts together without sorting them by source or category.
How to Assess It
- Give students a short book page and a teacher-read website excerpt about ants. Ask them to record three facts and sort them under Food, Home, or Body.

Ways to Teach It
Set up book, photo, and audio stations about frogs, then have pairs add one fact from each station to a web.
Ask, “Which source taught you the most about frogs?” and have students write one fact that supports their answer.
Play Fact Sort: teams place animal fact cards under Food, Home, or Body headings and explain one choice.
Research school lunch waste by reading the menu, interviewing a cafeteria worker, and organizing findings in a picture chart.
