If the learner is researching a topic using two different books or articles, can they combine the information they've gathered from both to talk or write about the subject more fully than either source alone?

Ask this to see whether the topic is secure.

  • Combine key details from two sources into a coherent summary or short report that draws on both texts
  • Explain how reading a second text on the same topic added to, confirmed, or challenged understanding gained from the first text
