Teacher's field guide

What Students Need to Do: Students make a clear message using the form selected by the teacher. They combine words, pictures, sounds, or digital tools so an audience can understand the message.
What Mastery Looks Like: Students create a complete message in the assigned form, such as a page, poster, recording, or digital slide. Their words, pictures, and sounds work together for the intended reader or listener.
Common Misconceptions: Students may draw without adding enough words or details to make the message clear. They may also treat a recording, picture, or digital slide exactly like a printed page.
How to Assess It: Ask students to make a paper sign that tells classmates how to care for a classroom book. Check for a clear message, matching picture, and readable words.
