01

What Students Need to Do

Students ask a focused question about a teacher-chosen topic. With support, they find facts in pictures, short texts, interviews, or other provided sources. They sort facts in a simple organizer, record them with words or drawings, and share them aloud.

02

What Mastery Looks Like

A student can turn curiosity into a relevant question and choose information that answers it. The student records accurate facts in labeled spaces and explains one finding to classmates.

03

Common Misconceptions

Students may offer opinions instead of questions, or copy an interesting detail that does not answer their question. They may overlook facts in pictures, misplace facts on a chart, or present a guess as a fact.

04

How to Assess It

Give students a bee photo and a short bee paragraph. Ask them to write one question, record two matching facts in a chart, and share one fact aloud.

1. 01

   Set out animal photos and short fact cards, then have pairs sort facts into a three-column habitat chart.

2. 02

   After reading about frogs, ask, "What do you still wonder?" and help students write one research question.

3. 03

   Play Fact Finder by giving teams a question and having them locate matching facts in picture books.

   Study the school lunch menu, ask where one food comes from, and record facts from a package label or cafeteria worker.
