What This Standard Means
What Students Need to Do
- Students add images, audio, video, charts, or links to support a spoken or written message. They choose media that match the purpose and keep the audience interested.
What Mastery Looks Like
- Students choose relevant media that fit the purpose and audience. They blend media smoothly into a presentation or written piece and can explain why each choice improves clarity or interest.
Common Misconceptions
- Students may add media only as decoration or assume that more effects create stronger work. They may choose images, audio, or video that distract from the message or repeat the same information.
How to Assess It
- Give students a short paragraph about recycling. Ask them to add two different media elements and explain how each one helps a sixth-grade audience understand the message.

Ways to Teach It
Turn a paragraph about local wildlife into one slide with a labeled photo, simple chart, and 15-second narration.
Compare a text-only opening with a multimedia opening, then write which one works better for a sixth-grade audience and why.
Play Media Match by pairing audience and purpose cards with image, audio, video, chart, or link cards, then justify each choice.
Create a digital school announcement that uses two media forms to explain a club, event, rule, or campus concern.
