Teacher's field guide

What Students Need to Do: Students choose and combine ways to share an idea, such as speaking, drawing, writing, acting, or using a simple chart. Their choices fit who will listen and whether they are explaining, informing, entertaining, or asking.
What Mastery Looks Like: Given a message and an audience, a student selects useful formats and explains the choice. The student might use a labeled picture and spoken directions for classmates, but a short note and drawing for families.
Common Misconceptions: Students may use the same format for every message or choose only what they enjoy. They may add pictures, movement, or sound that distract rather than clarify. Some confuse the audience with the topic and do not adjust words or details for the listener.
How to Assess It: Exit ticket: Tell the principal how to care for the class plant. Choose two options, spoken directions, a labeled drawing, a song, or a story, then explain why.

Lesson moves

Play Audience Match: students draw purpose and audience cards, choose from format cards, and justify their match in one sentence.
Have students create a morning announcement about returning library books, pairing a spoken reminder with a simple sign for the hallway.
