01

What Students Need to Do

Students investigate a real issue, ask their own questions, and check facts from more than one source. They compare views, discuss disagreements respectfully, and use a fair process to propose a response. They connect a local problem to regional and global patterns.

02

What Mastery Looks Like

A student can support a proposal with evidence and say where it came from. They can explain another person's concern fairly, spot a weak assumption, and suggest how a group should decide.

03

Common Misconceptions

Students may treat the loudest opinion as a fact or assume one chart tells the whole story. They may think civil talk means avoiding disagreement, or that a vote makes everyone’s concerns disappear.

04

How to Assess It

Give students a school lunch waste tally and a county landfill chart. Ask: 'Should our school change lunch portions? Use one fact, name a different view, and explain how the class should decide.'

1. 01

   Sort picture cards of leftover lunch items into unopened food and scraps, then tally each pile.

2. 02

   Ask, 'Should our cafeteria offer smaller portions?' Have students cite the tally and restate a classmate's concern before replying.

3. 03

   Run a mock school board vote with student, cook, and custodian roles; require evidence, questions, and one proposed change before voting.

4. 04

   Compare a school lunch tally, a county landfill chart, and a global food waste graphic; mark one shared pattern and one difference.
