What This Standard Means
What Students Need to Do
- Students choose and combine speech, visuals, audio, and written text to fit a clear goal and a specific audience. They select a form, such as a pitch, briefing, or story, and make the parts work together.
What Mastery Looks Like
- A proficient student can explain why each format and presentation form suits the listeners and goal. The spoken words, images, data, and structure reinforce one message instead of repeating or distracting.
Common Misconceptions
- Students often add images or video for decoration, without using them to clarify the message. They may choose the format they like rather than one suited to the audience. They also confuse using several media with integrating them, so each part feels separate.
How to Assess It
- Give students this prompt: Convince the principal to add a quiet lunch space. In five minutes, students sketch one slide and write a 30-second persuasive pitch, then explain why each choice fits the principal.
