01

What Students Need to Do

Students read seventh-grade nonfiction, including personal accounts and articles from different cultures and viewpoints. They make sense of what they read and choose books or articles for both their interests and schoolwork.

02

What Mastery Looks Like

A student can explain a writer's main ideas and point to details that support them, even when the text has unfamiliar words. They can choose a text that fits a reading goal and explain what another writer's perspective adds.

03

Common Misconceptions

Students may treat one person's account as if it represents everyone in that person's culture. They may repeat a writer's opinion as fact or choose a research text only because it is short.

04

How to Assess It

Give students a memoir excerpt and a news article about the same event. Ask: "What does each writer help you understand, and which text would you read next for a class report? Use one detail from each."
