You will then have an opportunity to read additional texts and think about similarities and differences. By staying focused on the central idea and key details in multiple sources, you will make sure that you target the most important content. You will evaluate how the information in multiple sources supports or contradicts the information in the text in order to build your knowledge of the content that you are learning.
