What This Standard Means
What Students Need to Do
- Students notice that stories, posters, videos, and recordings include different kinds of details. They choose ideas, words, and images that fit the text they are making.
What Mastery Looks Like
- A student can explain that a lost-pet poster needs a picture and contact details, while a story needs characters and events. The student creates a simple text with details suited to its form.
Common Misconceptions
- Students may think the topic alone decides what information belongs in a text. They may include the same details in a story, poster, and recording, or treat pictures as decoration instead of information.
How to Assess It
- Exit ticket: You need to tell families about class pet day. Choose a poster, story, or audio announcement, then give two details that fit your choice.

Ways to Teach It
Give pairs detail cards to sort under poster, story, and audio recording labels, then ask them to explain each choice.
Compare a weather report with a story about a rainy day, then ask, "What information belongs in each, and why?"
Play Format Match: students draw topic and text-type cards, then name one fitting detail to keep the pair.
Examine a school menu, family flyer, and morning announcement, then list the information each includes for its audience.
