NY Next Generation ELA 5SL1

5SL1 is a cluster heading. These are the individual standards under it.

• 5SL1.b

  Follow agreed-upon norms for discussions and carry out assigned roles.

• 5SL1.c

  Pose and respond to specific questions by making comments that contribute to the discussion and elaborate on the remarks of others.

• 5SL1.d

  Consider the ideas expressed and draw conclusion about information and knowledge gained from the discussions.

01

What Students Need to Do

Students prepare for discussions, follow shared norms, and carry out assigned roles. They pose and answer questions, elaborate on others' remarks, express ideas persuasively, and draw conclusions from the group's learning.

02

What Mastery Looks Like

A student uses preparation to contribute a clear idea and fulfills a role while listening closely. The student extends a peer's point with a question or comment and states a supported conclusion afterward.

03

Common Misconceptions

Students may treat persuasion as speaking louder or repeating a position. They may complete a role without contributing to shared thinking, or state a conclusion unrelated to the discussion's evidence.

04

How to Assess It

Have groups discuss a shared article with assigned roles. Check each student for prepared evidence, one elaborating exchange, role completion, and a concluding takeaway.

1. 01

   Assign facilitator, evidence-finder, challenger, and recorder cards for a group decision based on a short article.

2. 02

   Ask, ‘Which classmate's idea can you elaborate on, and what conclusion follows from the group's evidence?’

3. 03

   Play Elaborate or Repeat by sorting sample responses and revising repetitions into useful extensions.

4. 04

   Conduct a student council simulation that requires roles, persuasive comments, follow-up questions, and a final decision.
