Teacher's field guide

What Students Need to Do: Students choose a picture, drawing, audio clip, chart, or slide that helps an audience understand their work. They connect the media to a key idea in their speaking or writing.
What Mastery Looks Like: Students create a short written or oral task and add relevant media. They use the media at the right point and explain how it helps the audience understand.
Common Misconceptions: Students may choose pictures or sounds that are interesting but unrelated. They may copy the same information from their words without adding clarity, or use too many distracting effects.
How to Assess It: Ask students to write three sentences explaining how rain helps a plant, then add a labeled drawing that makes one detail clearer.

Lesson moves

Have students write three sentences about an animal, then add a labeled drawing showing one detail the words do not show.
Show two images for the same short paragraph and ask, “Which image helps the reader more, and why?”
Play Media Match: students pair short passages with pictures, sound clips, or charts, then justify each match to a partner.
Create a classroom weather report with a spoken forecast and a simple weather symbol map that clarifies each day.
