01

What Students Need to Do

Students notice a real problem at school and ask questions about it. They use what they see to suggest a fix. They listen to classmates and help choose a plan.

02

What Mastery Looks Like

A student can point to wrappers in a playground photo and suggest a place for a bin. They can ask where litter collects, listen to another idea, and vote on a class plan.

03

Common Misconceptions

Students may say a photo proves someone dropped litter on purpose, when it only shows the litter. They may think that after a vote, the smaller group can no longer share ideas.

04

How to Assess It

Show a photo of wrappers near the playground. Ask, "What do you see, what could our class do, and how should we choose between two ideas?"

1. 01

   Place clean paper scraps on a classroom floor map; pairs move them to bins and mark where another bin might help.

2. 02

   Show a playground litter photo and ask, "What do you see? What else would you need to know before choosing a fix?"

3. 03

   Read two cleanup plans aloud; children take turns giving one reason, then vote with counters and count the results.

4. 04

   Walk past the playground, mark litter spots on a clipboard, and share the class's bin placement idea with the custodian.
