Teacher's field guide

What Students Need to Do: With a teacher reading aloud and asking questions, students find information in two short texts about the same topic. They tell one fact they learned from each text.
What Mastery Looks Like: A student can say that one frog text tells about eggs and another tells about food. They can point to the page or picture that helped them find each fact.
Common Misconceptions: Students may give two facts from the same text instead of one from each. They may say a fact they already knew without checking whether either text says it.
How to Assess It: Write two pages: 'Rain fills puddles' and 'Rain helps plants grow.' Read both aloud, then ask each child to tell one fact from each page and point to the page that tells it.

Lesson moves

Read two frog fact cards, then have children place a paper egg and paper insect beside the card that mentions each.
Read two short frog pages aloud and ask, 'What did you learn from the first page? What did you learn from the second?'
Play Fact Match: read two one-sentence frog cards, then have children point to the card that tells where frogs lay eggs.
On a rainy day, read a rain picture book and a simple weather report, then ask children for one fact from each.
