What This Standard Means
What Students Need to Do
- Students use information from text, charts, audio, or video to answer a question. They check where each source gets its information and weigh evidence that points in different directions.
What Mastery Looks Like
- A student can make a recommendation using evidence from at least two formats. They can explain why one source is more useful or trustworthy for the question.
Common Misconceptions
- Students may treat a speaker's opinion as equal to measured data. They may describe a chart without checking its labels, or list facts from sources without using them to answer the question.
How to Assess It
- Give students a printed sample attendance table, a sleep survey bar chart, and a teacher-recorded mock bus driver message. Ask for a school start-time recommendation using two sources and naming one source limitation.
Lesson moves
Ways to Teach It
Give pairs the attendance table, sleep chart, and mock bus driver message; have them sort evidence into benefits, costs, and missing information.
Ask, 'Should school start 30 minutes later?' Have students write a claim using two sources and explain which source they trust more.
Play Evidence Match: teams match six start-time claims to source cards, then reject one claim the sources do not support.
Have students check the school bell schedule and a local sunrise chart, then draft an email proposing a start time with evidence from both.
