What This Standard Means
What Students Need to Do
- Students combine writing or speaking with media such as images, audio, video, maps, or charts. They choose elements that clarify ideas and suit the audience.
What Mastery Looks Like
- Students create a clear presentation or written piece with at least two useful media elements. Each element adds information, explains an idea, or helps the audience understand the topic.
Common Misconceptions
- Students may add pictures or sounds only as decoration. They may choose media that repeats the same information or distracts from the main message. Some forget captions, labels, or clear audio.
How to Assess It
- Give students a three-sentence animal report and ask them to add a labeled image and a 20-second recording that support the facts.
