What This Standard Means
What Students Need to Do
- Students ask simple who, what, or where questions about a short social studies text. They answer using details from the text and take turns talking about it.
What Mastery Looks Like
- A student can ask a clear question about a crossing guard passage and find the detail that answers it. They listen to a partner, answer on topic, and add a related thought.
Common Misconceptions
- Some children ask about their own day instead of the passage. Others guess without checking the text or keep talking while a classmate tries to answer.
How to Assess It
- Read aloud: “A crossing guard helps children cross the street. She holds up a stop sign.” Have each child ask a partner one question about the passage, answer their partner’s question, and wait for their turn.

Ways to Teach It
Give pairs sentence strips from a crossing guard passage; they match who, what, and where question cards to details in the text.
After reading a crossing guard passage, ask: “What would you ask the guard?” Have partners explain whether the passage answers their question.
Play Question Catch: toss a soft ball; the catcher asks a question about the passage, and the next catcher answers from the text.
Read a school note about a crossing guard’s new location; ask where the guard will stand and discuss how that helps walkers.
