What This Standard Means

What Students Need to Do

Students find useful details in a printed source and a source on screen. They compare those details to answer a question or make a choice.

What Mastery Looks Like

Given a paper map and a weather forecast on screen, a student quickly finds the map key and the time rain starts. They choose a suitable picnic spot and explain how both sources support it.

Common Misconceptions

Students may read every word instead of using a map key, heading, or label to find the needed detail. They may use only one source or overlook a detail, such as the time rain starts, that changes the answer.

How to Assess It

Project a forecast showing rain at noon and hand out a park map with one covered and one uncovered picnic spot. Ask students to answer in two minutes: “Where should we eat at noon, and what detail from each source supports your choice?”

Ways to Teach It

  1. Give pairs a paper park map and an on-screen forecast; have them place a token at the best picnic spot for noon.

  2. Ask, “Which clue on the park map matters more after you see the forecast, and why?” Have students write two sentences.

  3. Run a two-minute source hunt with a printed bus schedule and a digital route map; pairs find a bus arriving before 9:00.

  4. Show a digital ingredient chart beside a printed lunch menu; ask students to choose a peanut-free meal for a fictional student.
