What This Standard Means
What Students Need to Do
- Students decide what they think or prefer about a familiar topic. They communicate that opinion by combining pictures, labels, early writing, and words dictated to an adult.
What Mastery Looks Like
- A student clearly communicates a personal choice or judgment. Their picture, labels, writing, and dictated words work together so another person can understand the opinion.
Common Misconceptions
- Students may name or describe a topic without showing what they think about it. They may copy a classmate’s choice or draw a picture with no clear label or message.
How to Assess It
- Prompt: “Which classroom read-aloud was the best?” Have students draw their choice, add a label, and write or dictate their opinion.
