What This Standard Means

What Students Need to Do

Students respond to others’ comments and continue a conversation through several connected exchanges. They add relevant ideas, questions, or details.

What Mastery Looks Like

The student refers to a prior comment before adding something related. The exchange continues beyond one question and answer.

Common Misconceptions

Students may wait for a turn but begin a new topic. They may repeat a comment without adding information.

How to Assess It

Run a partner conversation and require three connected exchanges in which each response links to the previous comment.

  2. Ask students how their comment connects to what was just said.

  3. Play Conversation Chain with related picture prompts.

  4. Discuss a shared classroom choice through several linked turns.
