CCSS.ELA-Literacy.SL.6.1d
The Standard
Review the key ideas expressed and demonstrate understanding of multiple perspectives through reflection and paraphrasing.
Common Core State Standards for English Language Arts
What This Standard Means
Students need to listen during a discussion, track the main points people make, and restate those points in their own words. They also need to show they understand more than one viewpoint, even when they do not agree with it.
Mastery looks like a student saying, “So you think the character was scared because…” and then adding how another classmate saw it differently. Students often get stuck by repeating exact words, responding only with their own opinion, or missing quieter voices in the group.
Ways to Teach It
- Give each group three quote cards from a shared text and have students paraphrase a partner’s explanation before adding their own idea.
- Ask students to write: “One view I heard was…, another view was…, and I now think…” after a discussion.
- Use an exit ticket where students name two classmates’ ideas and paraphrase each one accurately.
- Connect to a team meeting, where players must restate the plan before suggesting a different strategy.
