What Students Need to Do

Students identify who a text is meant for and what the author wants that reader to think, feel, know, or do. They explain how word choice, details, tone, and format fit that reader and goal, then make those choices in their own texts.

02

What Mastery Looks Like

A student can name a likely audience and purpose, then support both with details from the text. The student can rewrite the same message for two audiences and make clear changes in vocabulary, tone, details, and format.

03

Common Misconceptions

Students may name “everyone” as the audience or treat the topic as the purpose. They may rely on text type alone, or change only one word when adapting a message for a new reader.

How to Assess It
