What This Standard Means
What Students Need to Do
- Students choose an order that helps readers follow the message. They use features such as titles, headings, numbered steps, labels, and pictures to fit the purpose and audience.
What Mastery Looks Like
- A student can organize a story, explanation, or set of directions in a clear order. The student can add a title, heading, list, caption, or labeled picture that helps the intended reader.
Common Misconceptions
- Students may place ideas in the order they think of them instead of an order that helps the reader. They may add headings, lists, or pictures that look appealing but do not support the purpose.
How to Assess It
- Give students four picture-supported sentences about washing hands. Ask them to put the sentences in order, add a title, and choose one helpful text feature.
