Deeper Learning Competencies
|
Effective Communication
|
- I can identify and explain one piece of explicit information from a text, though I may need help to find additional evidence or to make inferences
- I try to communicate my ideas, but sometimes require support to express them clearly and understand others' perspectives during discussions
|
- I can identify and use textual evidence to support my analysis by quoting or paraphrasing what the text states explicitly and by sharing my inferences with others
- I communicate my ideas clearly during group discussions, showing empathy and understanding, while connecting my findings to the benefits of board games for enhancing social and cognitive skills
|
- I can effectively communicate my understanding by citing multiple pieces of evidence from texts during discussions with peers, clearly distinguishing between what is stated explicitly and what can be inferred, and I can share my insights in a way that enhances our collaborative discussions and helps guide younger students during game sessions
|
- I can confidently lead a board game session with younger students, demonstrating clear and empathetic communication to explain rules and strategies
- I can effectively cite multiple pieces of textual evidence during discussions, using quotes or paraphrases to support both explicit details and inferences drawn from the game materials
- I actively engage with peers and younger students, facilitating meaningful interactions and reflections that enhance our collective understanding of explicit and implicit information

Making Meaning
|
Evaluating information
|
- I can describe possible meanings/interpretations of unclearly presented information or arguments.
Project-specific:- I can identify and explain two possible interpretations of information that is not clearly presented in a text by using specific examples to support my thinking
- I can use these examples to help younger students understand how to find and interpret both explicit information and inferences during our board game sessions
|
- I can analyze surrounding context and grammatical structures to understand which possible meanings/interpretations of unclearly presented information are the most likely to be true or intended.
Project-specific:- I can identify and use two or more pieces of evidence from the game instructions or player interactions to understand explicit rules and make inferences about the strategy
- I can explain how I used context clues and the language of the text to determine the most likely strategies and outcomes during gameplay
|
- I evaluate the broader implications of the most likely meanings of unclearly presented information to further refine my understanding of which interpretations are most likely.
Project-specific:- I can identify and cite multiple pieces of evidence from the board game rules and gameplay to clearly explain both explicit instructions and the inferences I make about the game's strategy
- I can communicate my thoughts effectively by using quotes or paraphrasing when discussing these ideas with my peers and younger students, ensuring everyone understands how to apply these skills in our game sessions
|
- I evaluate how the overall quality/rigor of my interpretations and understanding are affected by the quality and clarity of the information I use to form them.
Project-specific:- I can effectively analyze and interpret information by citing multiple pieces of textual evidence that clearly support both explicit statements and inferences in a text, ensuring my interpretations are strong and well-founded
- I can confidently explain how the clarity and quality of the information I choose impact my understanding and communicate these insights clearly during discussions and presentations
