01

What Students Need to Do

Students examine how layout, type, images, sound, pacing, and links shape meaning and audience response. They select design features that fit a text’s audience, purpose, mode, and genre.

02

What Mastery Looks Like

Students can compare two versions of the same message and explain how specific design choices change clarity, tone, or impact. They can create a text whose layout and media choices fit its intended readers and goal.

03

Common Misconceptions

Students may treat fonts, images, spacing, and sound as decoration rather than meaning-making choices. They may choose designs based on personal taste instead of audience, purpose, genre, or accessibility.

04

How to Assess It

Show two versions of a school event announcement. Ask students to choose the better version for families, cite two design features, and suggest one revision.

1. 01

   Give pairs one paragraph to redesign as an emergency alert and an event flyer, then label three choices made for each audience.

2. 02

   Ask students to write: How would this message change if presented as a podcast, infographic, or formal letter?

3. 03

   Play Design Match by pairing sample texts with audience and purpose cards, then require a one-sentence defense for each match.

4. 04

   Analyze a local transit sign or public health post, then redesign it for older adults, multilingual families, or young children.
