Integrating and Evaluating Multiple Sources
Aligned to RI.11-12.7 — Common Core State Standards for English Language Arts.
What this lesson teaches
Synthesize information from several sources and formats — text, data, media — and judge each source's reliability to form a reasoned conclusion.
Worked example
Researching a policy, you weigh a study, a news report, and a chart, noting which is most current and credible before concluding.
Practice questions
- How do you decide which source is most reliable?
- Synthesize two sources that partly disagree.
- Why integrate formats like charts with text?
