01

What Students Need to Do

Students analyze how layout, images, typography, sound, pacing, and navigation shape a reader's response. They choose and explain design features that fit a specific audience, purpose, mode, and genre.

02

What Mastery Looks Like

Students can compare two versions of the same message and explain which design choices work better for the intended readers. In their own work, they use purposeful features and justify each choice with evidence.

03

Common Misconceptions

Students may treat design as decoration or assume more color, images, and fonts always improve a text. They may name a feature without explaining its effect, or ignore differences among reports, infographics, videos, and social posts.

04

How to Assess It

Give students a plain school announcement and ask them to redesign it for either families or tenth graders. They must label two choices and explain how each serves that audience.

1. 01

   Give groups a printed article, scissors, markers, and images, then have them rebuild the page for younger readers.

2. 02

   Compare two news homepages and write: Which design better supports quick understanding, and what three details prove your claim?

3. 03

   Play Design Match: teams pair audience cards with font, image, spacing, and format cards, then defend each match.

4. 04

   Redesign a local event flyer for Instagram and a printed library board, changing features to fit each setting.
