What This Standard Means
What Students Need to Do
- Students examine situations where someone uses an item or money that belongs to another person. They decide whether the borrower acts responsibly and give a reason.
What Mastery Looks Like
- Students correctly sort borrowing situations by whether the borrower asks permission, cares for the item, and returns or repays it as promised. They explain their choices clearly.
Common Misconceptions
- Students may think borrowing means an item becomes theirs. They may also judge borrowing only by what is borrowed, rather than permission, repayment, timing, and care.
How to Assess It
- Give students two scenarios: borrowing a library book and returning it on time, and borrowing money without a repayment plan. Ask them to label each choice and explain why.
