What This Standard Means
What Students Need to Do
- Students review the assigned text or task before meeting with a group. They bring needed materials, notes, an idea, and a useful question.
What Mastery Looks Like
- A student brings the needed materials and useful notes. The student can explain the task, share a relevant idea, and begin an assigned role without prompting.
Common Misconceptions
- Students may think bringing a book or worksheet means they are prepared. They may bring notes that do not relate to the task, or wait for others to explain everything.
How to Assess It
- Give students a short passage and five minutes to prepare for a group question. Collect a prep card with one idea, one detail, and one question.

Ways to Teach It
Give teams a task folder, then have students select needed materials and create individual prep cards before starting a shared poster.
Ask students to write: What will I bring, say, and ask so my group can begin work quickly?
Play Ready or Not by showing sample prep cards and having teams sort them into prepared and unprepared piles.
Plan a class event in committees, with each student bringing one researched idea, one cost estimate, and one question to the meeting.
