What This Standard Means
What Students Need to Do
- Students work with classmates to learn about one shared topic using teacher-provided books, websites, videos, pictures, or interviews. They select useful facts and sort them into a chart, web, or picture organizer.
What Mastery Looks Like
- A student can share a relevant fact from a book, video, picture, or interview. The student can place that fact in the correct part of a class chart and name the source.
Common Misconceptions
- Students may copy a whole sentence instead of choosing one useful fact. They may mix facts under the wrong heading or treat a guess as information from a source.
How to Assess It
- Give each student a picture book page about frogs. Ask them to state one fact and place a sticky note under “Food,” “Home,” or “Body.”
