Teacher's field guide

What Students Need to Do: Students match workers with the tools they use and explain what careful, complete work looks like. They tell how workers help make products or provide services.
What Mastery Looks Like: Given a worker, students name an appropriate tool and describe how it helps with the job. They can explain what the worker produces and how to judge the work.
Common Misconceptions: Students may think tools are only objects such as hammers or that every job makes a physical product. They may confuse working quickly with doing a job well.
How to Assess It: Show a picture of a baker and ask: Name two tools, describe one sign of good work, and explain how the baker helps produce bread.

Lesson moves
