What This Standard Means
What Students Need to Do
- Students teach a reader about one subject using pictures, labels, written words, or spoken words recorded by an adult. They name the subject and give facts or details that belong with it.
What Mastery Looks Like
- The student names a clear subject and shares accurate details about it. The drawing, labels, written words, and dictated ideas work together to teach the reader.
Common Misconceptions
- Students may tell a story or give an opinion instead of sharing facts. They may add labels that do not match the picture, or draw without explaining what the details show.
How to Assess It
- Ask each student to make a page that teaches one fact about frogs. The page must include a picture, one label, and a written or dictated fact.
