What This Standard Means
What Students Need to Do
- Students add a picture, sound, recording, or short video to something they say or write. They choose media that helps the audience understand the message.
What Mastery Looks Like
- A student selects a relevant picture, recording, sound, or simple video clip to support a message. The student can explain how that choice adds useful information or makes the idea clearer.
Common Misconceptions
- Students may choose a picture or sound because they like it, even when it does not match their message. They may also let the media replace their own speaking or writing.
How to Assess It
- Ask each student to say one sentence about a favorite animal and add a matching picture or sound. Ask, “How does your choice help the audience understand?”

Play Media Match by having students pair short recorded sentences with matching pictures or sound clips.
Have students record a weather report and add a weather symbol or sound that matches the day’s conditions.
