What This Standard Means
What Students Need to Do
- Students examine how words, images, layout, sound, and text features shape a message. They create texts that combine these elements for a clear audience and purpose.
What Mastery Looks Like
- Students can explain how a heading, image, caption, word choice, or sound affects a reader or viewer. They can combine fitting features to inform, entertain, or persuade a named audience.
Common Misconceptions
- Students may add pictures, headings, or sound only for decoration. They may mix features from several genres without considering whether those choices fit the audience or purpose.
How to Assess It
- Ask students to create a one-page flyer that persuades classmates to read a favorite book. Require a headline, image, caption, and one persuasive sentence.
