Below, you will find the tools and resources you need to complete your Technology Internet Research Project:
Common Core Learning Standards for this project:
College and Career readiness anchor Standards for reading
Key Ideas and details
- Read closely to determine what the text says explicitly and to make logical inferences from it; cite specific textual evidence when writing or speaking to support conclusions drawn from the text.
- Determine central ideas or themes of a text and analyze their development; summarize the key supporting details and ideas
Craft and Structure
- Interpret words and phrases as they are used in a text, including determining technical, connotative, and figurative meanings, and analyze how specific word choices shape meaning or tone.
- Analyze the structure of texts, including how specific sentences, paragraphs, and larger portions of the text (e.g., a section, chapter, scene, or stanza) relate to each other and the whole.
- Assess how point of view or purpose shapes the content and style of a text
Integration of Knowledge and Ideas
- Integrate and evaluate content presented in diverse media and formats, including visually and quantitatively, as well as in words.
Range of reading and Level of text Complexity
- Read and comprehend complex literary and informational texts independently and proficiently.
Reading Standards for Literature K–5
Key Ideas
- Ask and answer such questions as who, what, where, when, why, and how to demonstrateunderstanding of key details in a text (Grade 2)
- Ask and answer questions to demonstrate understanding of a text, referring explicitly to the text as the basis for the answers (Grade 3)

Craft Structure:
- Determine the meaning of words and phrases as they are used in a text, distinguishing literal from nonliteral language. (Grade 2)

- Explain how specific images (e.g., a diagram showing how a machine works) contribute to and clarify a text (Grade 2)
- Determine the meaning of general academic and domain-specific words and phrases in a text relevant to a grade 3 topic or subject area. (Grade3)
- Use text features and search tools (e.g., key words, sidebars, hyperlinks) to locate information relevant to a given topic efficiently.(Grade 3)
- Describe the overall structure (e.g., chronology, comparison, cause/effect, problem/solution) of events, ideas, concepts, or information in a text or part of a text (Grade 4)
- Determine the meaning of general academic and domain-specific words or phrases in a text relevant to a grade 4 topic or subject area.(Grade 4)
- Use information gained from illustrations (e.g., maps, photographs) and the words in a text to demonstrate understanding of the text (e.g., where, when, why, and how key events occur).(Grade 3)
- Interpret information presented visually, orally, or quantitatively (e.g., in charts, graphs, diagrams, time lines, animations, or interactive elements on Web pages) and explain how the information contributes to an understanding of the text in which it appears. (Grade 4)
Text types and Purposes*
1 Write arguments to support claims in an analysis of substantive topics or texts, using valid reasoning and relevant and sufficient evidence.
2. Write informative/explanatory texts to examine and convey complex ideas and information clearly and accurately through the effective selection, organization, and analysis of content.
3. Write narratives to develop real or imagined experiences or events using effective technique, well-chosen details, and well-structured event sequences.
Production and distribution of Writing
4. Produce clear and coherent writing in which the development, organization, and style are appropriate to task, purpose, and audience.
5. Develop and strengthen writing as needed by planning, revising, editing, rewriting, or trying a new approach.
6. Use technology, including the Internet, to produce and publish writing and to interact and collaborate with others.
Research to Build and Present Knowledge
7. Conduct short as well as more sustained research projects based on focused questions, demonstrating understanding of the subject under investigation.
8. Gather relevant information from multiple print and digital sources, assess the credibility and accuracy of each source, and integrate the information while avoiding plagiarism.
9. Draw evidence from literary or informational texts to support analysis, reflection, and research.
Range of Writing
10. Write routinely over extended time frames (time for research, reflection, and revision) and shorter time frames (a single sitting or a day or two) for a range of tasks, purposes, and audiences.
Writing Standards K-5
