LA 4.4.1.a Locate, organize, analyze, and evaluate information from print and digital resources to generate and answer questions and create new understandings.
LA 4.4.2.a Practice safe and ethical behaviors when communicating and interacting with others digitally (e.g., safe information to share, appropriate language use, utilize appropriate sites and materials, respect diverse perspectives).
