Teacher's field guide

What Students Need to Do: Students read, view, or listen to information to figure out how an idea or process works. They create clear explanations using words, pictures, diagrams, or ordered steps.
What Mastery Looks Like: A student can identify key facts or steps and put them in a clear order. The student can explain the idea in their own words using details, sequence words, labels, or diagrams.
Common Misconceptions: Students may copy sentences from a source without showing what they mean. They may omit key steps, put steps out of order, or add pictures that do not clarify the explanation.
How to Assess It: Give students four illustrated steps of seed germination. Ask them to arrange the steps and write three sentences explaining the process with sequence words.
