Teacher's field guide

What Students Need to Do: Students find facts in a short article or website, alone or with a group. They place the facts under clear headings in a chart or other organizer.
What Mastery Looks Like: A student can label a chart with headings such as location, services, and visitors. They put facts from a library page in the right sections and explain why each fact belongs there.
Common Misconceptions: Students may copy whole paragraphs instead of choosing useful facts. They may mix up who uses a place with what the place does, or leave their chart headings blank.
How to Assess It: Give this exit ticket: “The library is on Main Street. It lends books. Families visit.” Ask students to place each fact under Location, Service, or Visitors.

Lesson moves

Give pairs printed facts about a library, fire station, and post office; have them sort the facts onto labeled chart paper.
Ask, “Where would you put ‘Families visit the library,’ and why?” Have partners explain their choices.
Play a fact-sort relay: teams place community place cards under Location, Service, or Visitors on a wall chart.
Use the local library website to find its address and one service, then add both to a class chart.
