Teacher's field guide

What Students Need to Do: Students find two people, events, ideas, or facts in a nonfiction text. With teacher questions or picture support, they tell how the two are related.
What Mastery Looks Like: A student identifies two people, events, ideas, or facts from a read-aloud. With a prompt, the student explains the link using words such as because, both, or then.
Common Misconceptions: Students may name two details without explaining how they go together. They may confuse what happened first, or make a connection based on the pictures alone.
How to Assess It: Read a short passage about a seed becoming a plant. Ask, “How are rain and plant growth connected?”

Lesson moves
