ONGOING CONTENT AREA LITERACY STANDARDS
2014-2015 Standards
Learning
Outcomes
6-8.LST.1.1: Read and comprehend science and technical texts within a range of complexity appropriate for
grades 6-8 independently and proficiently by the end of grade 8.
6-8.LST.1.2: Write routinely over a variety of time frames for a range of discipline-specific tasks, purposes, and
audiences.
Key Ideas and
Textual Support
6-8.LST.2.1: Cite specific textual evidence to support analysis of science and technical texts.
6-8.LST.2.2: Determine the central ideas or conclusions of a text; provide an accurate, objective summary of the
text.
6-8.LST.2.3: Follow precisely a multistep procedure when carrying out experiments, taking measurements, or
performing technical tasks.
Structural
Elements and
Organization
6-8.LST.3.1: Determine the meaning of symbols, key terms, and other domain-specific words and phrases as they
are used in a specific scientific or technical context relevant to grades 6-8 texts and topics.
6-8.LST.3.2: Analyze the structure an author uses to organize a text, including how the major sections contribute
to the whole and to an understanding of the topic.
6-8.LST.3.3: Analyze the author’s purpose in providing an explanation, describing a procedure, or discussing an
experiment in a text.
Synthesis and
Connection of
Ideas
6-8.LST.4.1: Integrate quantitative or technical information expressed in words in a text with a version of that
information expressed visually (e.g., in a flowchart, diagram, model, graph, or table).
6-8.LST.4.2: Distinguish among facts, reasoned judgment based on research findings, and speculation in a text.
6-8.LST.4.3: Compare and contrast the information gained from experiments, simulations, video, or multimedia
sources with that gained from reading a text on the same topic.
Writing Genres 6-8.LST.5.1: Write arguments focused on discipline-specific content.
6-8.LST.5.2: Write informative texts, including scientific procedures/experiments or technical processes that
include precise descriptions and conclusions drawn from data and research.
Writing Process 6-8.LST.6.1: Plan and develop; draft; revise using appropriate reference materials; rewrite; try a new approach;
and edit to produce and strengthen writing that is clear and coherent, with some guidance and support from peers
and adults.
6-8.LST.6.2: Use technology to produce and publish writing and present the relationships between information
and ideas clearly and efficiently.
Research Process 6-8.LST.7.1: Conduct short research assignments and tasks to answer a question (including a self-generated
question), or test a hypothesis, drawing on several sources and generating additional related, focused questions that
allow for multiple avenues of exploration.
6-8.LST.7.2: Gather relevant information from multiple sources, using search terms effectively; annotate sources;
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 (e.g., APA or CSE
6-8.LST.7.3: Draw evidence from informational texts to support analysis, reflection, and research
CONTENT STANDARDS
Students are expected to build upon and continue applying concepts learned in previous grade levels.
2014-2015 Standards
Standard 1
