Teacher's field guide

What Students Need to Do: Students listen to or read a short text about people and places. They answer questions using facts the text states clearly.
What Mastery Looks Like: After hearing 'On Monday, Ana walked to the library,' a student can name who went, where she went, and when. They can point to the words that give each answer.
Common Misconceptions: Students may answer from a picture or from what usually happens instead of the words. They may mix up when and where, or invent a reason the text does not give.
How to Assess It: Read, 'On Tuesday, Jo walked to the post office.' Ask, 'Where did Jo go? How did Jo get there? Point to the words that tell you.'

Lesson moves

Give pairs a printed note: 'On Monday, Ana walked to the library.' Have them place counters on the words that tell who, when, and where.
Read, 'Mia went to the park on Friday.' Ask, 'Which words tell us when? What do we not know from this sentence?'
Play fact finder: display 'Sam visited the fire station on Friday.' Ask where and when; children race to point to each answer.
Show a school calendar note: 'The class visits the library on Thursday.' Ask children to find where the class goes and when.
