Facilitation Note: Provide time for learners to share their ideas with their 

group members and to collaboratively decide which person they will place in 

the centre of the placemat. Guide them, when making their decision, to focus 

on ensuring their selection has several of the qualities of a contributor that 

were documented in the Anchor Chart in Step A.

Teacher Talk: We are now going to share the person that your group has 

selected for the centre of the placemat. Be prepared to give a reason why 

this particular person was selected by your group.

Facilitation Note: Have each group share and highlight the reasons for their 

selection by referring back to the Anchor Chart that was developed in Step A.

Step C:
Assessment 
of Learning

CONSOLIDATING THINKING TO BUILD NEW KNOWLEDGE

Teacher Talk: You will now have the opportunity to focus your thinking on the 

person that your group selected. With your group, find information about your 

person to show evidence of the Qualities of a Contributor to Society that we 

came up with. You will have a graphic organizer to help you organize your 

thinking. 

Facilitation Notes: You may want to use one of the people selected by 

a group as a starting point to help the learners understand what type of 

evidence they need to focus on and what type of information they should look 

for. Use the Contributor to Society Graphic Organizer to frame your sample 

responses and show where the information should be included.

Students work collaboratively to complete the Contributor to Society Graphic 

Organizer. Remind them that this is not a full research project but rather an 

opportunity to quickly find and verify information they already know about the 

person so they can share it. 

If necessary, show learners how to effectively and safely find information on 

the Internet. 

The students may need additional time to complete this task.

CONSOLIDATING THE LEARNING EXPERIENCE

Have the Traffic Light Assessment Poster posted where the students can 

view it. Distribute red, yellow and green stickers to each group.
