South Dakota ELA 1.SL.1

1.SL.1 is a cluster heading. These are the individual standards under it.

• 1.SL.1.c

  Ask questions to clear up any confusion and provide feedback to peers.

01

What Students Need to Do

Students talk about a shared book or class topic in pairs and groups. They take turns, respond to what someone said, ask when something is unclear, and give helpful comments.

02

What Mastery Looks Like

A student listens and stays on topic for several back-and-forth turns. They ask a question about a classmate’s idea and give feedback that names something specific.

03

Common Misconceptions

Some students think taking a turn means sharing their own idea without listening first. Others change the subject with their questions or say “good job” without explaining what worked.

04

How to Assess It

After reading The Three Little Pigs, ask groups of three, “Which house would you build, and why?” Listen for each child to take turns, respond to a peer, ask a question, and give one specific comment.

1. 01

   Give groups pictures of the three houses to sort, then have each child explain a choice and answer a partner’s question.

2. 02

   Ask, “Which pig made the best choice?” and have each child explain why, then ask a classmate a follow-up question.

3. 03

   Play a talking-token game where children use a token only after answering or asking about the last speaker’s idea.

4. 04

   Have pairs plan a recess game using a playground photo, asking about unclear rules and suggesting one change to make turns fair.
