What This Standard Means
What Students Need to Do
- Students ask questions when a map, picture, or classmate’s comment is unclear. They answer with details from the source and take turns talking about community places.
What Mastery Looks Like
- A student asks, “What does this symbol mean?” instead of guessing. They use the map key to answer a partner and respond to a follow-up question.
Common Misconceptions
- Some students guess what a symbol means without checking the key. Others interrupt or answer a different question from the one their partner asked.
How to Assess It
- Give pairs a neighborhood map with a key. Have each student ask about one unfamiliar symbol, answer a partner’s question using the key, and ask one follow-up question.
Lesson moves
Ways to Teach It
Give pairs a neighborhood map and sticky notes; have them mark confusing symbols, then ask a partner to explain each using the key.
Ask, “Where should our town put a new park?” Partners ask a follow-up question before sharing a reason from the map.
Play Question Relay with community place cards: one student gives a clue, another asks for a clearer clue, then names the place.
Use a map of your school; partners ask where to find the office or library and answer using room labels.
