01

What Students Need to Do

Students identify who will hear a presentation and what response they want. They select language, evidence, examples, visuals, and delivery choices that fit that audience and purpose.

02

What Mastery Looks Like

Students can present the same idea differently to peers, teachers, families, or community leaders. They adjust vocabulary, examples, evidence, visuals, pacing, and calls to action while keeping the message accurate.

03

Common Misconceptions

Students may think polished slides matter more than audience needs. They may use the same tone, evidence, and detail for every group, or rely on stereotypes when judging an audience.

04

How to Assess It

Give students a school policy proposal and two audiences, ninth graders and the school board. Ask them to write a different opening and closing for each audience.

1. 01

   Give groups audience cards, then have them revise the opening, visuals, and evidence in a short presentation for that assigned audience.

2. 02

   Ask students to explain how a graduation speech should change when delivered to classmates, families, or elementary students.

3. 03

   Play Audience Switch, where students begin a one-minute pitch, draw a new audience card, and immediately adjust their language and examples.

   Have students create two versions of a public service announcement, one for teenagers and one for local government officials.
