Asking about routines in the next grade: school support plan
Support focus
Turn a story about the next grade into a question.
Example situation
A made-up student hears that the next grade has no recess and that nobody can ask for help with homework. The student has not seen the new schedule or spoken with a teacher from that grade.
Student words or action
The stories about homework and breaks are not confirmed. Ask what the actual schedule includes.
Adult response
“Which question should we check first? We can leave unknown information marked unknown.”
A supported practice
A friend says the next grade never uses picture directions. No teacher has confirmed this.
What information needs checking?
An example response: “How are directions shared in the next grade?”
A second practice
A student hears that every new class needs supplies from home. The supply list has not been shared.
What information needs checking?
An example response: “What supplies does the school provide, and what is actually required?”
