Hyperlinked writing is more than citing your sources, it is a direct manifestation of writing for an audience.
A quick check-in with my Common Core Guru, Mike Fisher, author of “Cure for the Common Core“, told me that I was on the right track. He said:
You are actually addressing several capacities in what you’re describing:
Capacity 3: Students respond to varying demands of audience, task, purpose, and discipline.
Capacity 5: They value evidence. (Citations are in this realm, along with curation, and it is highly connected to number 6…)
Capacity 6: They use technology and digital media strategically and capably.
It shows the intent to guide the reader to:
where the author has been
his/her train of thought
providing a framework and context of the content background.
