3. Knowledge Constructor - Students critically curate a variety of resources using digital tools to construct knowledge, produce creative artifacts and make meaningful learning experiences for themselves and others. 3.a. Students collaborate with a teacher to employ appropriate research techniques to locate digital resources that will help them in their learning process. Samples of student performance (by the end of grade 5): Students use digital tools to identify questions related to a topic of interest to broaden or narrow the topic as needed. Students use a variety of appropriate search techniques to locate needed information using digital learning tools and resources. Students gather, organize and summarize information from multiple digital learning tools and resources to build knowledge of a topic. Connected Standards: Draw on information from multiple print or digital sources, demonstrating the ability to locate an answer to a question quickly or to solve a problem efficiently. ELA RI7 (5) Consult reference materials (e.g., dictionaries, glossaries, thesauruses), both print and digital, to find the pronunciation and determine or clarify the precise meaning of keywords and phrases. ELA L4c (5) 3.b. Students learn how to evaluate sources for accuracy, perspective, credibility and relevance. Samples of student performance (by the end of grade 5): With guidance, students use multiple criteria to differentiate between relevant and irrelevant information found with digital learning tools and resources. Connected Standards: Analyze how visual and multimedia elements contribute to the meaning, tone, or beauty of a text (e.g., graphic novel, multimedia presentation of fiction, folktale, myth, poem). ELA RL7 (5) Describe how family, school, community, peers, media, and technology influence food and beverage choices and eating behaviors. H2.N6 (4) Evaluates the accuracy of primary and secondary sources. Social Studies 5.1.2 (4)
