01

What Students Need to Do

Students name a problem at school or nearby and use a photo or tally to check what is happening. They ask questions, listen to different ideas, and explain which plan they think will help. They vote on a plan and help carry it out.

02

What Mastery Looks Like

Students can point to a photo or count to explain their choice and ask a question that helps the class learn more. They listen without interrupting, accept a vote’s result, and take part in the chosen plan.

03

Common Misconceptions

Some students think the loudest voice makes the decision, or that voting means everyone gets their first choice. They may treat a guess as proof or suggest a fix before checking what the problem is.

04

How to Assess It

Show a photo of litter near a school bin. Ask students to draw one clue they see, write one question, and tell a partner one class action they would vote for.

1. 01

   Walk to the playground with clipboards; pairs mark litter spots on a simple map and count their marks.

2. 02

   Show two cleanup ideas and ask, “Which fits our litter count? Why might a classmate choose the other idea?”

3. 03

   Give each child a paper ballot for two cleanup plans; count votes together and practice saying, “I can help with our choice.”

4. 04

   Show a photo of a neighborhood trash can; students draw a reminder sign that neighbors could use to keep the spot clean.
