What This Standard Means
What Students Need to Do
- Students create a message using two or more assigned modes, such as words, images, audio, or layout. They select features that fit a clear purpose and audience.
What Mastery Looks Like
- A student can combine words, images, sound, or layout to communicate a clear message. Each feature fits the assigned purpose and audience and adds useful information.
Common Misconceptions
- Students may add pictures or sound only as decoration. They may repeat the same information in every mode, ignore the audience, or choose features that do not match the purpose.
How to Assess It
- Exit ticket: Create a one-slide message persuading classmates to join a playground cleanup, using words, one image, and color. Explain one design choice.
