Details

The Details icon challenges students to determine the key facts, traits, parts, or elements of the content. Learners are tasked with looking for the vital details or characteristics to define the topic of study.

Curricular Examples:

  • Prioritize the key details in the text to summarize the daily lives of colonial Americans.
  • Analyze the diagram and classify the components of the earth’s layers.
  • Interpret the data given in the table and determine the relevant information needed to solve the problem.
  • Sequence the details of a fairy tale.

Question Stems:

  • How does a historian evaluate the details from primary sources to synthesize the events from a specific time period?
  • What elements does a biologist examine to distinguish living things from non-living things?
  • What information can be added to what we already know about factorization?

Task Statement:

Students will recognize and defend with criteria the relationships between addition and subtraction using details gleaned from fact family examples. They will share their findings by creating an instructional video using a variety of manipulatives.
