What This Standard Means

What Students Need to Do

Students notice how pictures, labels, headings, color, and sound help a text reach a particular reader or listener. They create simple texts that combine words with another mode and choose features to fit a purpose.

What Mastery Looks Like

Given an audience and purpose, students can create a simple poster, story, or instruction page using words and visuals. They can explain how one feature helps the audience understand or respond.

Common Misconceptions

Students may treat pictures, colors, and sound as decorations instead of tools that add meaning. They may add every available feature without considering the audience or purpose.

How to Assess It

Ask students to make a one-page sign that teaches a kindergartner to wash hands. Require a heading, a drawing, and labels, then have students explain one choice.

Lesson moves

Ways to Teach It

  1. Cut apart picture, caption, and heading cards, then assemble a page for kindergarteners that explains how to plant a seed.

  2. Compare two lost-pet posters and ask, “Which would help neighbors act faster, and what design choice makes it work?”

  3. Sort feature cards into “helps inform,” “helps persuade,” or “helps entertain,” then defend one placement to a partner.

  4. Create cafeteria reminder signs using a drawing, bold heading, and short sentence for students who need to sort trash.
