16. It starts in kindergarten:
“With prompting and support, describe the relationship
between illustrations and the text in which they appear
(e.g., what person, place thing, or idea in the text an
illustration depicts).”
In 4th grade it becomes:
“Integrate information presented in different media or formats (e.g.,
visually, quantitatively) as well as in words to develop a coherent
understanding of a topic or issue.”
In 8th grade students must:
“Evaluate the advantages and disadvantages of using different
mediums (e.g., print or digital text, video, multimedia) to present a
particular topic or idea”
And in 12th grade students must:
“Integrate and evaluate multiple sources of information presented in
different media or formats (e.g., visually, quantitatively) as well as in
words in order to address a question or a problem.”
