01

What Students Need to Do

Students ask questions about a real community problem and check where reliable sources agree. They explain how people's experiences shape their views and discuss disagreements respectfully. They compare past and present responses, then use a vote or consensus to choose a response.

02

What Mastery Looks Like

A student can use a city traffic count and a resident interview to support a recommendation, noting a fact both confirm. They can explain why a parent and a commuter might disagree about a crossing guard and respond without insults. They can compare an earlier request for a stop sign with today's crossing guard proposal and help their group make a decision.

03

Common Misconceptions

Students may treat a popular post or one person's story as enough proof without checking another source. They may think respectful discussion means everyone must agree, or that a vote makes minority concerns irrelevant. They may assume a past solution will work now without checking what has changed.

04

How to Assess It

Give students this prompt: “A city report lists three near misses at the school crosswalk. Should your class request a crossing guard? Use the report, explain why someone might disagree, and name how your class could decide.”

1. 01

   Give groups a printed street map and three sample pedestrian observations; have them mark risks and place a proposed crossing guard.

2. 02

   Ask, “Why might a parent and a commuter disagree about adding a school crossing guard, and what would you say to each?”

3. 03

   Play source sort with a city traffic count, a neighbor's story, and an unsigned post; teams explain which claims each can support.

4. 04

   Examine a current city council agenda, choose one item, and draft a two-sentence comment supported by a fact from the agenda.
