The need to conduct research and to produce and consume media is embedded into every aspect of todays curriculum. In like fashion, research and media skills and understandings are embedded throughout the Standards rather than treated in a separate section. Gather relevant information from multiple print and digital sources, using search terms effectively; assess the credibility and accuracy of each source; and quote or paraphrase the data and conclusions of others while avoiding plagiarism and following a standard format for citation. http://www.corestandards.org/wp-content/uploads/ELA_Standards.pdf
