What This Standard Means
What Students Need to Do
- Students read or view sources with a clear purpose. They select useful information, apply it to a task or decision, and communicate what they learned.
What Mastery Looks Like
- Students select relevant details from one or more sources and explain how those details support a conclusion or decision. They share the information clearly in discussion or writing.
Common Misconceptions
- Students may copy interesting details without checking whether they fit the task. They may rely on one source, confuse opinions with facts, or make a decision without evidence.
How to Assess It
- Give students two short passages about reducing cafeteria waste. Ask them to choose one solution and support it with two relevant details from the passages.
