01

What Students Need to Do

Students list social studies topics that interest them, choose one, and write a question about it. They find information in books or printed web pages and sort notes by question. They share what they learned in a short report or poster.

02

What Mastery Looks Like

A student writes a question that a source can answer and narrows it if needed. They put facts in their own words under headings and use them to make a poster or report that answers the question.

03

Common Misconceptions

Students may write a topic, such as “the library,” instead of a question about it. They may copy whole lines from a source or add facts to a poster that do not answer their question.

04

How to Assess It

Give students a one-page handout listing three public library services. Ask, “How does the library help people in our town?” Have them record two facts in a question-and-facts chart, then write a two-sentence answer.

1. 01

   Give pairs a printed library services page, highlighters, and sticky notes; have them place facts on a question-and-facts chart.

2. 02

   Ask students to list three things about the public library that interest them, then write one question about one of those things.

3. 03

   Play fact-match with cards showing library services and question cards; pairs match each fact to a question and explain one choice.

4. 04

   Have students use a public library flyer to make a three-sentence welcome card telling a new family which services they can use.
