Teacher's field guide

What Students Need to Do: Children choose between familiar options and say what they prefer. With help, they draw and label their choice, then dictate or write a reason.
What Mastery Looks Like: A child draws their choice, labels it, and gives a reason that fits. For example, they might choose the swings and say, “I like going high.”
Common Misconceptions: Some children name a choice but do not say why. Others describe their drawing or give a reason that does not match their choice.
How to Assess It: Ask, “Should we read a book about dogs or trucks? Why?” Have each child draw and label their choice, then write a reason or dictate one to you.

Lesson moves

Let children try crayons and markers on scrap paper, then draw their favorite and dictate why they chose it.
Ask partners, “Would you rather build with blocks or paint? Why?” Have each child tell their partner one reason.
Play Pick a Side with pictures of swings and slides; children stand by their choice and give one reason.
Show two library book covers; children draw the book they want for story time and label or dictate why.
