What This Standard Means
What Students Need to Do
- Students choose a familiar topic and share true, relevant details about it. They communicate through a labeled picture, dictated words, their own writing, or a mix of these.
What Mastery Looks Like
- The student makes the topic clear and shares at least two accurate details. The picture, labels, dictated words, or written sentences match the topic and make sense together.
Common Misconceptions
- Students may give opinions, wishes, or make-believe details instead of facts. They may draw an unrelated picture, name the topic without adding details, or worry that every word must be spelled correctly.
How to Assess It
- Give this exit prompt: “Show two true things you know about frogs.” Students may draw, label, dictate, or write their facts.

Ways to Teach It
Let students observe a classroom plant with magnifiers, then draw it and add labels showing two facts they noticed.
Ask, “What could we teach someone about dogs?” Record student facts, then have each child illustrate and complete one sentence.
Play Fact or Make-Believe by reading animal statements aloud, then have students sort picture cards under FACT or MAKE-BELIEVE.
Have students create an information sign for a classroom pet, plant, or supply area using a picture and two true details.
