What This Standard Means
What Students Need to Do
- Students examine how a text’s format and type affect the details it includes. They choose ideas and information that fit a specific audience, purpose, and format.
What Mastery Looks Like
- Students can explain why a report includes facts and headings while a story includes characters and events. They can select details that fit a poster, article, video, or narrative.
Common Misconceptions
- Students may think the same details belong in every format. They may treat pictures, sound, and layout as decoration instead of choices that shape meaning.
How to Assess It
- Give students a topic such as a lost dog. Ask them to list two details for a poster and two different details for a story.
