What This Standard Means
What Students Need to Do
- Students add one picture, sound, video, or recording to an oral or written task. The chosen media should help the audience understand the message.
What Mastery Looks Like
- Students choose a picture, sound, or recording that clearly connects to their words. They can explain what the media adds for the audience.
Common Misconceptions
- Students may choose a picture or sound only because they like it. They may also add media that repeats the message without making it clearer.
How to Assess It
- Ask students to write two sentences about an animal and add one picture or sound. Have them explain how the media helps the audience understand.

Students make a digital lunch menu with one food description and a photo that helps classmates know what they could order.
