Draw evidence from literary or informational texts to support analysis, reflection, and research.
2.3.1.4. CCLS Note on range and content in student writing: "a key purpose of writing is to communicate clearly to an external, sometimes unfamiliar audience, and they begin to adapt the form and content of their writing to accomplish a particular task and purpose. "
2.3.2. CCLS First Grade Project Linked Standards (Sample)

2.3.2.2. RL.1.11. Making connections between self, text and the world.
2.3.2.3. RI.1.6. Distinguish between information provided by pictures or other illustrations and information provided by the words in a text.
2.3.3. Media Literacy Concepts connected to CCLS & Traditional Standards
2.3.3.1. Every audience is unique: Your message will mean different things to different people in the audience because of who they are, where they come from, and what and who they know;
2.3.3.2. Media messages are constructed: Just as any media message is created by someone, YOU are creating a unique message represented by what you choose to include;
2.3.3.3. Every author is unique: Who you are, where you come from, what and who you know will affect makes your 'point of view' different from someone else somewhere else;
2.3.3.4. Each medium has its own unique language: A sequence of moving images on a screen requires different skills from a person to understand than a group of written words on a piece of paper; choosing to communicate with a video, for example, will affect a) where (in a theater, on their computer, etc.) and b) how (watching and listening to objects, people, music, graphics or words on a screen) people can receive your message;
2.3.3.5. Media messages can change how people see the real world (social reality & identity): Watching what you choose to show them (from your 'point of view') can change how they look at your subject when they encounter it again in the real world; what you show them about a subject also might change how they look at YOU; what you consume and create can affect your sense of who you are.
2.3.4. Thinking of reading and writing with Digital Media, as an extension and assessment of traditional student literacy.
2.3.5. Looking at intent of messages in ANY media: PIE (persuade, inform, entertain)
2.3.6. Identifying good information: WWW. (Who wrote it?... more coming soon...)
