What This Standard Means
What Students Need to Do
- Students pull useful facts, examples, and ideas from one or more texts for a clear purpose. They use evidence to explain a topic, solve a problem, make a choice, or teach others.
What Mastery Looks Like
- A student selects details that fit the task, records where they came from, and explains how they support a conclusion. The student combines information from texts and presents it accurately in speech or writing.
Common Misconceptions
- Students may copy whole sentences instead of choosing relevant details. They may rely on personal opinions without text evidence or mix up facts from different sources.
How to Assess It
- Give students a short article about two ways to save water. Ask, “Which method should our school use?” Students answer and support their choice with two details.
