01

What Students Need to Do

Students take part in conversations and written exchanges with a clear purpose, such as explaining, questioning, or persuading. They connect details within one text, across multiple texts, and to relevant experiences or issues. They listen or read closely, then build on another person’s ideas.

02

What Mastery Looks Like

A student explains how details in one text relate, compares ideas across texts, and links reading to a relevant experience or issue. In speaking or writing, the student states a purpose, uses specific evidence, and responds directly to another person’s idea.

03

Common Misconceptions

Students may call any personal memory a connection, even when it does not clarify the text. They may summarize two texts separately instead of explaining a relationship between them. Some respond with "I agree" but add no evidence, question, or new idea.

04

How to Assess It

Give students two short passages on the same topic. Ask them to write four sentences explaining one connection across the passages and why it matters, using one detail from each.

1. 01

   Give pairs two short articles and sticky notes; students label one connection within each text, one across texts, and one beyond them.

2. 02

   Discuss: Which connection best changes your understanding of the main character, and what detail supports your choice?

3. 03

   Play Connection Sort: teams place evidence cards under within, between, or beyond, then defend one placement to another team.

4. 04

   Compare a school lunch article with the cafeteria menu, then write a recommendation to the principal using evidence from both.
