Teacher's field guide

What Students Need to Do: Students select sources that fit a clear task. They gather and connect useful details to explain a topic, build a skill, solve a problem, or support a choice.
What Mastery Looks Like: A student can explain why each source fits the task, take accurate notes, and connect details across sources. The final response uses relevant evidence to reach a sound conclusion or communicate a clear idea.
Common Misconceptions: Students may choose the first source they find, copy details without context, or treat every source as equally reliable. They may list facts without connecting them to the task or their own conclusions.
How to Assess It: Give students two short sources about later school start times. Ask them to write a three-sentence recommendation using one relevant detail from each source.
