Combining Information from Media
Aligned to RI.6.7 — Common Core State Standards for English Language Arts.
What this lesson teaches
Understanding a topic often means pulling together words, images, charts, and video. Combine what each source shows so the pieces build one fuller picture instead of standing alone.
Worked example
An article states a river flooded; a map shows which streets went underwater; a photo shows the depth. Alone each is partial — together they answer where, how much, and how bad. Integration builds the full understanding.
Practice questions
- Pick a topic and gather it in two forms (text plus a chart, map, or video).
- Write what each source adds that the other doesn't.
- Combine them into one paragraph that explains the topic more fully.

Combinar Informacion de Distintos Medios
Entender un tema a menudo significa reunir palabras, imagenes, graficas y video. Combina lo que muestra cada fuente para que las piezas formen una imagen mas completa en vez de quedar sueltas.
Ejemplo: Un articulo dice que un rio se desbordo; un mapa muestra que calles quedaron bajo el agua; una foto muestra la profundidad. Por separado cada uno es parcial — juntos responden donde, cuanto y que tan grave. La integracion crea la comprension completa.
