01

What Students Need to Do

Students use observations and reliable sources to investigate a local problem. They compare different views, discuss solutions respectfully, and choose a plan through a vote or agreement. They consider what one person, a group, and local officials can each do.

02

What Mastery Looks Like

A student can use a litter tally to explain a problem without treating guesses as facts. They can fairly describe a view they disagree with, support a cleanup plan with evidence, and explain who would carry it out.

03

Common Misconceptions

Students may think respectful discussion means everyone must agree. They may treat a strong opinion as evidence or assume that a majority vote makes any plan fair. They may expect one volunteer to fix a problem that needs public action.

04

How to Assess It

Exit ticket: Show a photo of litter near school and a short tally from the site. Ask students to cite one observation, name two affected groups, propose an action, and explain how the groups should choose a plan fairly.

1. 01

   Give groups a photo and litter tally from a street near school; have them label each statement as an observation or assumption.

2. 02

   Ask, "Should residents, shops, or local officials lead a cleanup?" Have students paraphrase another view before giving their own.

3. 03

   Run a mock town vote on extra bins, signs, or volunteer cleanups; require groups to cite the tally and consider an objection.

4. 04

   Have students find who maintains the street near school and draft an email asking about cleanup, using their tally as evidence.
