What This Standard Means
What Students Need to Do
- Students choose a form, such as a story, poster, directions, or short talk, based on the audience and goal. They combine words, speech, drawings, or other visuals to make the message clear.
What Mastery Looks Like
- Students select a fitting format and combine words, speech, or visuals to communicate clearly. They can explain how their choices help a particular audience understand the message.
Common Misconceptions
- Students may choose a favorite format without considering the audience or goal. They may add unrelated pictures or assume every audience has the same background knowledge.
How to Assess It
- Give this exit prompt: “Teach kindergarteners how to care for a class pet. Choose a format and two ways to share the information. Explain your choices.”
