Integrating Sources from Media
Aligned to SL.9-10.2 — Common Core State Standards for English Language Arts.
What this lesson teaches
When information comes through diverse media — a talk, a chart, a video — integrate the sources and evaluate each for credibility and accuracy before drawing conclusions.
Worked example
A student watches a podcast interview and a data graphic on the same law; the graphic confirms one of the speaker's numbers and contradicts another, so the student trusts it selectively.
Practice questions
- Combine information from a spoken source and a visual source on one topic.
- Explain how you would check the accuracy of a claim made in a video.
- Describe what to do when two media sources disagree.

Integrar fuentes de distintos medios
Cuando la información llega por medios diversos —una charla, una gráfica, un video—, integra las fuentes y evalúa la credibilidad y exactitud de cada una antes de concluir.
Ejemplo: Un estudiante escucha una entrevista en pódcast y ve una gráfica de datos sobre la misma ley; la gráfica confirma una cifra del orador y contradice otra, así que el estudiante confía de forma selectiva.
