What This Standard Means
What Students Need to Do
- Students examine how words, images, sound, and layout work together in a text. They create print or digital texts that use deliberate features for a clear audience and purpose.
What Mastery Looks Like
- Students can explain how specific words, images, captions, audio, and layout shape a message. They can create a clear product and justify choices based on audience and purpose.
Common Misconceptions
- Students may add pictures or sound only as decoration. They may also mix features without considering whether each choice fits the audience and purpose.
How to Assess It
- Give students a paragraph about saving water and two images. Ask them to create a poster for classmates, then explain how one design choice supports the message.
