Common Core Standards
Grade 5
Speaking and Listening SL.5.3
Summarize the points a speaker makes and explain how each claim is supported by reasons and evidence.
This standard focuses on students' ability to comprehend and retain a presentation, as well as present their understanding of that presentation in a clear and logical manner. Like SL.5.2, this standard builds upon previous standards by challenging students to summarize and analyze an entire presentation, rather than merely a portion of it.
