01

What Students Need to Do

Students study a community problem using evidence and the views of people affected. They discuss options respectfully and use a fair process to choose what individuals and groups can do.

02

What Mastery Looks Like

A student can use a litter count and comments from affected people to compare cleanup plans. They can restate a view they disagree with, explain who would carry out each plan, and help a group make a fair decision.

03

Common Misconceptions

Students may treat one litter count as proof that students cause all the trash. They may think respectful discussion means avoiding disagreement. They may assume a majority vote makes a plan fair even if custodians or neighbors were not heard.

04

How to Assess It

On an exit ticket, use today's litter tally to compare a student cleanup with adding a bin. Name one affected group's concern, one missing fact, and a fair way to decide.

1. 01

   Walk the school grounds with a tally sheet, count litter near bins and paths, and mark two trouble spots on a campus map.

2. 02

   Ask: Should students or the school handle litter near the entrance? Cite the tally and restate a different view before replying.

3. 03

   Hold a five-minute town hall with student, custodian, and neighbor role cards; vote on a plan, then record who might object and why.

4. 04

   Write a note to the principal proposing a bin placement change, citing the litter tally and explaining what students can do first.
