Teacher's field guide

What Students Need to Do: Students gather facts from a short text, picture, or interview. They group related facts in a chart, web, or labeled list.
What Mastery Looks Like: A student puts notes under clear headings, with each fact in the right place. They can use the organizer to answer a question without searching through every source again.
Common Misconceptions: Students may copy facts in the order they find them instead of grouping them. They may put a place name in a When box because it appears next to an event time on a flyer.
How to Assess It: Hand out a flyer that reads, 'Families are invited to story time Tuesday at 4 p.m. in the library meeting room.' Ask students to fill in a Who, When, Where chart.

Lesson moves

Give pairs a book page about firefighters; have them write three facts on sticky notes and place each under Tools or Tasks.
After students sort notes from a book about a community helper, ask, 'Why did you put that note under Tools instead of Tasks?'
After reading a park flyer, teams sort six fact cards under Activities, Rules, and Hours, then explain one choice.
Read a printed library event flyer together, then have students enter the audience, place, and time into a three-box chart.
