Further Explanation
This assessment example requires students to demonstrate their understanding of the key ideas and details from a text, apply knowledge gained from the text to form a new idea that is not explicitly stated in the source text, and orally explain their thoughts and ideas to a peer. Through discussion, students can help one another to better understand information they have read in order to develop new understanding.
