What This Standard Means
What Students Need to Do
- Students gather related ideas about one topic and put them in a clear order. They may say the ideas aloud, draw them, add labels, or write simple sentences.
What Mastery Looks Like
- A student can tell, draw, or write several connected ideas about one topic. The ideas are placed in an order that another person can follow.
Common Misconceptions
- Students may add ideas in the order they think of them, even when the ideas do not connect. They may treat each picture or sentence as separate rather than part of one clear message.
How to Assess It
- Give students three boxes and the prompt, “Show how you get ready for school.” Ask them to draw or write one ordered idea in each box.
