What This Standard Means
What Students Need to Do
- Students help decide how their group will work before starting a shared task. They agree on a goal, choose roles and steps, and help everyone stay involved and on task.
What Mastery Looks Like
- A student suggests a fair rule, helps name a clear goal, and follows the agreed steps. They listen, complete a role, and help the group adjust when work stalls.
Common Misconceptions
- Some students think one leader should make every decision or do most of the work. They may confuse the group goal with the steps, or think finishing quickly matters more than including everyone.
How to Assess It
- Give groups five minutes to plan a shared poster. Check whether each group agrees on one goal, two rules, assigned jobs, and ordered steps before starting.
