Learning goals

  • Use a neutral summary, a reason, and a workable compromise during disagreement.

Before you begin

Read or listen to the short model before answering.

Age and grade do not measure readiness. Adjust reading or adult support to preserve the intended learning goal.

Follow the sequence

Teaching and response guide

  1. State the rubric’s two requirements.
  2. Write an “I” statement explaining one concern about time.
  3. Write one question that checks whether both classmates understand the plan.

Watch for: Can each of us say what we will do first? Other neutral checking questions are accepted.

Check the answer criteria for each task. A supported explanation may have more than one acceptable response. These activities offer evidence to discuss; completing a sheet alone does not establish mastery.
