synthesize multiple sources on the subject, demonstrating understanding of the subject under investigation. ● Gather relevant information from multiple authoritative print and digital sources, using advanced searches effectively; assess the strengths and limitations of each source in terms of the specifc task, purpose, and audience; integrate information into the text selectively to maintain the fow of ideas, avoiding plagiarism and overreliance on any one source and following a standard format for citation. ● Draw evidence from informational texts to support analysis, refection, and research. MATH CONNECTIONS ● Use units as a way to understand problems and to guide the solution of multi-step problems; choose and interpret units consistently in formulas; choose and interpret the scale and the origin in graphs and data displays. ● Defne appropriate quantities for the purpose of descriptive modeling. ● Choose a level of accuracy appropriate to limitations on measurement when reporting quantities.
