What This Standard Means
What Students Need to Do
- Students create and post a digital article, slide, or video. They edit with classmates, respond to comments, and cite the facts and images they use in MLA or APA format.
What Mastery Looks Like
- A student's class post is ready for others to read and includes correctly formatted citations. The student gives a classmate a specific suggestion and makes a useful change after getting feedback.
Common Misconceptions
- Students may paste a URL instead of a citation, credit Google instead of the original site, or assume online photos need no credit. They may think sharing a file counts as collaboration, even if no one gives or uses feedback.
How to Assess It
- Give students a source card with an author, title, site, date, and URL. Ask them to post two sentences based on it to the class site, add an MLA or APA citation, and suggest one revision to a peer.

Ways to Teach It
In pairs, make a one-slide class gallery post about a local animal; cite a wildlife website and comment on another pair's slide.
Show a class slide with an uncredited photo; ask students to write a comment explaining what credit is missing and how to add it.
Give teams three website source cards and flawed citations; have them correct the citations using either MLA or APA format.
Use the district lunch menu to write a class-site post about next week's choices; cite the menu and ask a peer to check accuracy.
