What This Standard Means
What Students Need to Do
- Students find two people, events, ideas, or facts in an informational text. They explain how the two are related using details from the text.
What Mastery Looks Like
- Students identify the two people, events, ideas, or facts being compared. They explain the relationship with clear words such as because, next, both, or different.
Common Misconceptions
- Students may name two details without explaining how they relate. They may also confuse sequence with cause, or use vague words such as "they go together."
How to Assess It
- Read: "Maya planted a seed. A week later, a sprout appeared." Ask students to explain the connection using "because" or "so."
