Teacher's field guide

What Students Need to Do: Students match ideas and facts to the correct parts of a writing plan. They choose details that best support the purpose and leave out information that is weak or off topic.
What Mastery Looks Like: A student places ideas and facts in the correct parts of an organizer. The student keeps details that clearly support the purpose and removes details that are repeated, unrelated, or weak.
Common Misconceptions: Students may include every fact they find, even when it does not support the topic. They may place details in the wrong section or choose interesting details that do not help the reader.
How to Assess It: Give students a three-part organizer and six detail cards. Ask them to place the four strongest details, cross out two weak details, and explain one choice.

Lesson moves

Give groups detail cards and three labeled organizer sections, then have them place each card, remove weak details, and explain one choice.
Ask students to write: Which detail would help your reader most, and where should it go in your plan?
Play Detail Sort, where partners race to match details to organizer sections and earn points for removing unrelated information.
Plan a school event announcement, using headings to organize the date, location, activities, and information families need most.
