Another emphasis is on integrating media sources. Research and media skills are <br />
blended into the Standards as a whole. <br />
INSTRUCTOR NOTE: Paraphrase the following paragraph from the Introduction. <br />
To be ready for college, workforce training, and life in a technological society, <br />
students need the ability to gather, comprehend, evaluate, synthesize, and <br />
report on information and ideas, to conduct original research in order to answer <br />
questions or solve problems, and to analyze and create a high volume and <br />
extensive range of print and non‐print texts in media forms old and new. The <br />
need to conduct research and to produce and consume media is embedded <br />
into every aspect of today’s curriculum. In like fashion, research and media <br />
skills and understandings are embedded throughout the Standards rather than <br />
treated in a separate section. <br />
Let’s take a look at this integration into the standards as a whole. <br />
You’ll see from these Grade 6 examples, the use of media sources is integrated <br />
across the strands. Take a moment to read the example standards. <br />
These are only a few examples from Grade 6. It is important to note that this is <br />
not an exhaustive list; there are numerous examples of integration of media <br />
sources within each grade level across the strands. <br />
