On our topic, what information should be backed with media and how will we choose?
Let’s try:

Team Discussions
At each step, collaborate to analyze the information and media in your research and your own decisions for media for their blogs. I will pop into your discussions to guide you by asking questions if needed; otherwise I will simply listen to how you are thinking, making decisions, and making progress on your decisions together.

Reading:
Cite several pieces of textual evidence to support analysis of what the text says explicitly as well as inferences drawn from the text.
Determine two or more central ideas in a text and analyze their development over the course of the text; provide an objective summary of the text.
Writing:
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.
Apply grade 7 Reading standards to literary nonfiction [see above ]
With some guidance and support from peers and adults, develop and strengthen writing as needed by planning, revising, editing, rewriting, or trying a new approach, focusing on how well purpose and audience have been addressed. (Editing for conventions should demonstrate command of Language standards 1-3 up to and including grade 7 here.)
Use technology, including the Internet, to produce and publish writing and link to and cite sources as well as to interact and collaborate with others, including linking to and citing sources.
