What This Cluster Means
What Students Need to Do
- Students figure out who a text is meant for and what the writer wants that reader to think, feel, learn, or do. They notice how words, pictures, and details fit the reader. They use those choices when making their own texts.
What Mastery Looks Like
- Students can name who a text is for and whether it aims to inform, entertain, persuade, or direct. They can point to words or pictures that support that goal. In their own work, they choose details that fit the reader.
Common Misconceptions
- Students may think every text is written to tell a story. They may name the teacher as the audience simply because the teacher shared the text. They may change pictures or word choice without explaining how those changes help a reader.
How to Assess It
- Show students a birthday invitation and ask, "Who should read this, what should they do, and which detail helps them know?" Then have them add one useful detail.
