Coach: look at the exit check results and the paper practice. Go back over every item a student missed: read it together, have the student explain their thinking, then show the correct thinking. Use the reteach routine below for anyone who missed two or more. Students who got everything right take the stretch task.

🔄 Reteach it (missed two or more)

Write each fact on a sticky note. The student physically sorts the notes into piles, then names each pile. One pile becomes one paragraph.

Start with only two subtopics.

Sort: "Dogs bark," "Dogs need walks," "Dogs have fur," "Dogs need food." Two piles?
Answer: What dogs are like (bark, fur) and how to care for them (walks, food).
Name a pile: "eats fish," "eats plants."
Answer: Food.
Write a topic sentence for the Food pile.
Answer: Example: Dogs eat many kinds of food.

🚀 Stretch it (got everything right)

Add a text feature to your report: a heading for each body paragraph and a caption for a picture.
Answer: Check that headings match subtopics.
Write the full mini report: introduction, two body paragraphs, conclusion.
Answer: Check for organization and facts only.
