What This Standard Means
What Students Need to Do
- Students select and combine formats such as speech, slides, video, graphics, and written text. They match those choices to their goal and the needs of a specific audience.
What Mastery Looks Like
- Students combine spoken, written, visual, audio, or digital elements so each part serves a clear role. They adjust genre, tone, evidence, and design for the intended audience.
Common Misconceptions
- Students may add slides, video, or music without considering whether each choice helps the audience. They may also use the same tone and format for every audience.
How to Assess It
- Give students a school issue and two audiences, the principal and ninth graders. Ask them to choose two communication modes for each audience and justify each choice.
