Teacher's field guide

What Students Need to Do: Students turn research notes into a short poster, slide, or talk. They choose useful facts, put them in a clear order, and explain them in their own words.
What Mastery Looks Like: A student can make a poster with a title, two accurate facts from research, and a labeled drawing. They can explain the main idea aloud without reading every word.
Common Misconceptions: Students may copy whole sentences from a source or present guesses as facts. Some add pictures but leave out what they learned, or list facts without a clear point.
How to Assess It: Give students a short library fact sheet. Ask them to make a mini-poster with a title, two facts, and a labeled drawing, then explain it to a partner in 30 seconds.

Lesson moves

Give pairs two short library fact sheets, index cards, and paper; have them sort facts and build a mini-poster for a one-minute talk.
Ask partners, “Which fact from the library fact sheets should open your talk, and why?”
Run a one-minute presentation relay: students show a fact card, explain it in their own words, then pass the cards to the next speaker.
Have students ask the school librarian how to find a book, then make a labeled slide explaining the answer to younger students.
