Teacher's field guide

What Students Need to Do: Students match notes, facts, examples, and quotations to sections of an outline or graphic organizer. They mark the strongest material and leave out details that do not support their purpose.
What Mastery Looks Like: A student can sort facts, examples, and quotations under clear headings and explain each choice. The plan gives priority to strong evidence and leaves out unrelated material.
Common Misconceptions: Students may include every fact they found, even when it does not support the purpose. They may choose an interesting detail over a useful one or place strong evidence in the wrong section.
How to Assess It: Give students a three-part outline about later school start times and six evidence cards. Ask them to place four cards, mark the strongest, and explain one rejection.

Lesson moves

Give pairs evidence cards and an outline, then have them place each card under a section and remove two weak cards.
Ask, “Which detail would most persuade a principal to allow longer lunch, and where should it go in the plan?”
Play Evidence Draft: teams draw a claim card, choose three useful details from eight options, and arrange them in a logical outline.
Have students plan a one-minute morning announcement by sorting event facts into what listeners need first, next, and last.
