17 Let s Explore the Elementary Performance Task Stormwater Pollution Grades 3-5 Building Background Knowledge
18 Scenario-Essay The PTA at your school is sponsoring a stormwater information night to help protect our local waters. They have asked each child to write an essay explaining what stormwater is, how stormwater gets polluted, and two actions we can take to keep the stormwater clean. You will read an article, view a video and study a diagram to build your knowledge of stormwater pollution. Then you will write an essay to share at the Parent Information Night.

23 Student Pages-Note Taking Source What Stormwater is How Stormwater gets polluted What we can do to keep stormwater clean Video: 15 Minutes to the Puget Sound Article: Let s Visit Stormville! Illustration: The Culprits
24 3 Questions #1: What is stormwater runoff? Be sure to name your source. (Locating Information) #2: What do you learn in the article about stormwater pollution that you don t learn in the diagram? (Selecting the Best Information) #3: Defend this statement using information from two of the sources. Be sure to name your sources. We can make a difference in keeping our water clean and healthy.(providing sufficient information to support a point of view or opinion)
25 Essay The PTA at your school is sponsoring a stormwater information night to help keep our local waters healthy. They have asked each child to write an essay explaining what stormwater is, how stormwater gets polluted, and two actions we can take to keep the stormwater clean. Write your essay using information from the three sources, naming the sources you use. Your essay will be shared at the Parent Night.
26 In Summary *Performance tasks build background knowledge for the unit s essential content. *Students practice the research skills they must demonstrate when assessed (Smarter Balanced). *Students practice the writing skills measured on the new assessments (Smarter Balanced). *Great Opportunity for your student outreach programs to offer as a pre-lesson to what you are doing
