What This Standard Means
What Students Need to Do
- Students develop and answer questions about key details in texts and information presented through varied formats. They use pictures, words, audio, or simple data.
What Mastery Looks Like
- The student asks a relevant question and answers with an accurate key detail. The response identifies where the information came from.
Common Misconceptions
- Students may ask about a minor or unrelated detail. They may answer from personal knowledge rather than the source.
How to Assess It
- Provide a short illustrated text and audio detail. Ask students to pose one key-detail question and answer another using the sources.
