What This Standard Means
What Students Need to Do
- Students read, view, or listen to a source to understand a concept or process. They use what they learned to create an explanation through writing, speaking, diagrams, or another clear format.
What Mastery Looks Like
- Students identify the main concept, key details, and sequence in a source. They create an accurate explanation using clear organization, relevant evidence, and subject-specific words.
Common Misconceptions
- Students may copy sentences without showing what they learned. They may list steps out of order, leave out key details, or explain ideas without evidence from the source.
How to Assess It
- Give students a short text about the water cycle. Ask them to draw and label the process, then explain it in four sentences using two details from the text.
