Teacher's field guide

What Students Need to Do: Students group related findings and put them in a clear, logical order. They share the information through speaking or writing. They match the tone and structure to the audience and setting.
What Mastery Looks Like: Students present a clear main idea, grouped details, useful transitions, and a conclusion. They adjust their words, tone, and structure for the audience and format.
Common Misconceptions: Students may list facts in the order they found them instead of grouping related ideas. They may treat informal sharing as careless or read slides without explaining the findings.
How to Assess It: Give students six notes about school start times. Ask them to organize the notes and write a five-sentence summary for the principal.

Lesson moves
