What This Cluster Means
What Students Need to Do
- Students find exact parts of several texts that relate to a focused topic or question. They connect evidence across sources instead of summarizing each source separately.
What Mastery Looks Like
- Students select specific passages, images, charts, or sections that directly address a focused question. They explain how details from different sources support, extend, or challenge one another.
Common Misconceptions
- Students may list whole sources instead of pointing to the exact paragraph, chart, or quotation that answers the question. They may collect unrelated facts or treat repeated information as a meaningful connection.
How to Assess It
- Give students three short sources on one issue. Ask them to select one relevant part from each and write two sentences explaining a connection among them.

Ways to Teach It
Post printed sources around the room, then have students mark relevant sections with sticky notes labeled support, extend, or challenge.
Ask students to write: Which two sources make the strongest connection, and what exact details create that connection?
Play Evidence Match by giving teams source excerpts and question cards, then awarding points for accurate matches and clear explanations.
Have students research a local school issue using a news report, survey results, and school policy, then connect evidence across all three.
