Common Core Standards
Grade 5
Reading RI.5.9
Integrate information from several texts on the same topic in order to write or speak about the subject knowledgeably.
What's so great about a crossbowman? It's because it's a triple compound word, and there's nothing cooler than combining multiple words together to form another word. Likewise, this Common Core Standard wants students to take information from many pieces of writing and put them together into something that's greater than the sum of its parts.
