01

What Students Need to Do

Students ask a question about a community topic and gather facts from a text, photo, or interview. They put facts in their own words and name their sources. They write a main idea with supporting details or an opinion with reasons, then share what they learned.

02

What Mastery Looks Like

A student chooses a question and sorts useful facts in an organizer. Their paragraph has a main idea, two accurate details in their own words, and a source name. They can also state an opinion with a reason and explain their findings to classmates.

03

Common Misconceptions

Students may copy sentences instead of putting facts in their own words. They may treat an opinion as a fact or give a reason that does not support their opinion. They may list details without a main idea or forget to name their source.

04

How to Assess It

Give students a card titled 'Our Library' that says the library lends books, offers free computers, and hosts story time. Ask them to write a main idea and two supporting facts in their own words, then name the card as their source.

1. 01

   Give pairs a library flyer, highlighters, and a three-box organizer; have them mark facts and sort them under books, computers, and events.

2. 02

   Ask, 'Should our library add another story time?' Have students write an opinion and give one reason from the flyer.

3. 03

   Play Fact or Opinion with cards reading 'Libraries lend books' and 'Our library needs more chairs'; students sort the cards and explain their choices.
