What This Standard Means
What Students Need to Do
- Students read, view, or listen to texts to learn how a concept or process works. They explain that learning by creating an organized written, spoken, or visual text.
What Mastery Looks Like
- Students identify key ideas, details, and steps in an informational text. They create a clear explanation using their own words, logical order, accurate facts, and helpful text features.
Common Misconceptions
- Students may copy sentences instead of explaining ideas in their own words. They may leave out key steps, mix up the order, or rely on pictures without connecting them to the written text.
How to Assess It
- Give students a short text about the water cycle. Ask them to explain the process in four sentences, using accurate details and sequence words.
