What This Standard Means
What Students Need to Do
- Students identify two or more people, events, ideas, or concepts in an informational text. They explain how those parts connect and support the explanation with specific text details.
What Mastery Looks Like
- A student can name a clear relationship, such as cause and effect, sequence, influence, comparison, or dependency. The student uses accurate details from the text to explain that link.
Common Misconceptions
- Students often summarize both items separately instead of explaining the link. They may claim cause and effect when the text shows only sequence, or cite an unrelated detail.
How to Assess It
- Exit ticket: Choose two people, events, ideas, or concepts from the text. Explain their relationship and support your answer with two specific details.

Ways to Teach It
Give pairs event cards from a short science article; students arrange them, draw arrows, and label each link with evidence.
Ask, “How did one person, event, or idea change another?” Students answer in three sentences and cite two text details.
Play Connection Match: teams pair people, events, or ideas from the reading and earn points by explaining each relationship accurately.
Read appliance instructions and have students explain how two steps depend on each other and what happens if their order changes.
