What This Standard Means
What Students Need to Do
- Students notice when a map, photo, or short passage leaves them unsure. They ask a clear question, use the source to find an answer, and respond to a classmate's idea.
What Mastery Looks Like
- Given a neighborhood map, a student asks what a symbol means and uses the key to answer. They listen to a partner and add a related point without interrupting.
Common Misconceptions
- Some students ask broad opinion questions when they need a detail clarified. Others answer from a guess rather than the source, or repeat their own point instead of responding to a classmate.
How to Assess It
- Give pairs a neighborhood map with a key. Have each student ask what one symbol means, answer using the key, and respond to their partner's answer.

Ways to Teach It
Give pairs a printed neighborhood map and sticky notes; have them flag confusing symbols, check the key, and explain their findings to a partner.
Show a photo of the town library; ask pairs, 'What do we know, and what would we need to ask to learn more?'
Play Map Key Match: students draw a symbol card, ask a partner what it means, then check the answer with a printed key.
Bring a flyer for a local library event; have students ask about the time or location and point to the line that answers.
