Building Background Knowledge
Let’s Explore the Elementary
Performance Task
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.

Student Pages-Note Taking
#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)

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.
Essay
*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

Stormwater-Surface Water Runoff
• Quantity- too much surface water runoff causing erosion and
flooding
• Quality- pollutants from land surfaces being carried by surface
water runoff into waterways-creeks, streams, rivers,
lakes, Puget Sound, the ocean
Define the Problem
Go outside and identify features in the
schoolyard system that impact water flow
and collection of pollution in that system.
Research the Problem
2. Research the Problem

Pollution Prevention-changing
personal actions such as using less
fertilizer and cleaning up after your
dog which can stop pollution at its
source.
Schoolyard Solutions –solutions in
the schoolyard to have stormwater
runoff soak into the ground to filter out
pollutants before they reach creeks,
streams, lakes, and Puget Sound.
