What This Standard Means
What Students Need to Do
- Students make sense of stories, information, pictures, and spoken ideas. They create responses that use specific details to compare ideas, explain meaning, or make a judgment.
What Mastery Looks Like
- Students identify a key idea, select a relevant detail, and explain how the detail supports their thinking. They can create a short written, spoken, or visual response that compares or judges ideas.
Common Misconceptions
- Students may give an opinion without pointing to a detail from the text. They may retell the whole text instead of choosing evidence that supports their judgment.
How to Assess It
- Give students a short passage and ask, “Was the character’s choice helpful? Write one sentence and include one detail that supports your answer.”

Ways to Teach It
Give pairs detail cards from a story to sort into supports, does not support, and unsure, then have them explain each choice.
Ask, “Which character made the better choice, and what detail proves it?” Students discuss, then write a two-sentence response.
Play Evidence Match by having students pair opinion cards with supporting details from a shared text and explain each match.
Compare two classroom rule posters, then have students choose the clearer poster and cite one word, picture, or feature as evidence.
