01

What Students Need to Do

Students choose something they want to learn about and ask a simple question. They gather information from pictures, books, or people, then record and share what they learned.

02

What Mastery Looks Like

With teacher prompts, a student asks a clear question and finds a related fact in a picture, text, or conversation. The student records the fact and explains it to others.

03

Common Misconceptions

Students may give a comment instead of asking a question. They may record guesses or opinions as facts, or draw something unrelated to the source. Some think sharing means showing a picture without explaining what they learned.

04

How to Assess It

Show a photo and short caption about penguins. Ask each student to state one question, draw or dictate one fact, and share it with a partner.

1. 01

   Set out leaves, magnifiers, and plant books, then have students ask a question, observe, and draw one fact they discover.

2. 02

   After a read-aloud, ask, "What did you wonder, and what fact helped answer your question?" Record responses on a class chart.

3. 03

   Play Fact Finder Bingo using picture source cards, with students stating a fact before covering the matching topic square.
