What This Standard Means

What Students Need to Do

What Mastery Looks Like

The student asks a focused clarification question and answers accurately. The student states the speaker’s viewpoint using something the speaker said.

Common Misconceptions

Students may confuse the speaker’s view with their own. They may ask an unrelated question or identify topic instead of viewpoint.
